Key Takeaways

  • According to court documents, Apple plans to remove the blood oxygen-sensing functionality from the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 to avoid a ban in the US.
  • The removal of the feature will only affect prospective buyers in the US, not current owners or those outside the country.
  • If Apple's appeal is unsuccessful, the company may have to pay a licensing fee or develop a new technology to bring back blood oxygen sensing.
