Big move this one. I wonder, if they lose the patent dispute, whether features of these watches will be removed for users?
Blood oxygen sensors. Seems very useful. It’s interesting that the dispute got this far: I would think if there’s any possibility of losing this Apple could have sent dump trucks full of money to the company complaining
Apple could also pay the cost to license the patent
And if they are apply should pay monthly costs to the effected users
I’ve proactively blocked automatic updates on my watch in anticipation of them doing a rug pull on the feature.
I have yet to see details about the actual dispute to take sides in this one.
Apple poached engineers from the company that owns the patent for the blood oxygen sensor, rather than bothering to license their tech. Company sued and Apple lost, now their products are under an import ban.
