"Apple Faces Ban on Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 Over Blood Oxygen Monitor Dispute"

Apple is now selling Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 models in the US without functional blood oxygen monitoring features, following a ruling by the US International Trade Commission (ITC) that found the company had violated patents related to light-based blood-oxygen monitoring. The company modified the watches to comply with the ban, and while it's appealing the decision, it has introduced redesigned models without the blood oxygen feature. Customers who previously purchased models with the feature will not be impacted, and the modified watches will still have the blood monitoring app, but with a message indicating the feature is no longer available.

Apple Halts Sales of Smartwatches Amid Patent Dispute

Apple will temporarily halt sales of its Series 9 and Ultra 2 smartwatches in the U.S. due to a patent dispute with medical technology company Masimo. The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) ruled in October that Apple's smartwatches violated Masimo's patent rights, potentially leading to an import ban. While the ruling is under review by President Biden's administration, Apple is taking preemptive steps toward compliance. The affected smartwatches will no longer be sold on Apple's website and retail locations after December 24. Apple plans to appeal the ITC's decision and argues that it did not infringe on Masimo's patents.

"Unveiling the Impressive Apple Watch Series 9: A Comprehensive Review"

The new Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 offer brighter displays, a faster S9 chip, a "Double Tap" gesture, increased storage, and more. Reviews suggest that these models are iterative upgrades and may not be worth upgrading to from previous versions. The Double Tap gesture is fun but not essential, and the smart stack widget may not be useful for everyone. The Ultra 2's brighter display benefits the flashlight feature, and the S9 chip provides a performance boost for on-device Siri processing.
