Apple to Remove Pulse Oximeter from Watches to Avoid Sales Ban

Now, the big tech giant Apple has agreed to remove the pulse oximeter from two Apple Watches— the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2- to avoid a sales ban on the devices in the United States. Apple took this decision after they stopped the sale of these two different models over a dispute over a patent with Masimo, a company that makes pulse oximeters.

ITC, or the International Trade Commission, ruled that the blood oxygen sensors of the Watches violated Masimo's patents. After that, these Watches were ordered to be taken out of stores. Later,  the devices were banned the day after the 25th.

Apple to Remove Pulse Oximeter from Watches to Avoid Sales Ban

With the help of the feature, you can measure the oxygen level in your blood. Thus, you can ensure that the level is not low. Otherwise, it may result in serious health problems. However, according to the ITC, Apple illegally incorporated blood oxygen technology from Masimo, a medical tech company. So, the devices were banned on 26th December. But then the tech giant Apple made an appeal, resulting in a pause on the ban. However, changes were made to allow them to keep on selling these Watches in the United States.

What Did A Masimo Spokesperson Say?

Bloomberg reported that a statement from Masimo called Apple's decision a "positive step toward accountability."

A Masimo spokesperson said that Apple, which is one of the most powerful companies in the world, respects smaller companies’ intellectual property rights & complies with ITC orders, when it is caught infringing. Apple was sued by Masimo in 2021 because of the patent infringement over the Apple Watch Series 6.

As per the suit, Masimo claimed that employees were poached by Apple with the aim of stealing trade secrets that are light-based technology related to measure blood-oxygen levels.

The U.S. Customs & Border Protection agency is the ones who are in charge of imposing the import bans. As per a Masimo filing on Monday, the U.S. Customs & Border Protection agency approved the necessary technical changes to the Watches on Friday, that includes removing of the pulse oximeter feature. It is expected that people can see a decision in the next few days on the request from Apple for a permanent stay on the US ban.

Removing the technology from Apple was a very big change. Apple engineers have been working on a software update. They want to change the blood-oxygen app & the algorithms to circumvent the problem without losing the feature. But avoiding the ban in the US is the main target. So, eliminating the capability is the fastest way that should be taken to avoid seeing the ban reimposed, that might have occurred this month.

What Did An Apple Spokeswoman Say?

According to an Apple spokeswoman, people can enjoy the pulse oximeter function on its watches for the time being.

The removal of the pulse oximeter might be actioned, in case the U.S. Court of Appeals does not grant a permanent stay. However, Apple wants to stop the U.S. trade ban. In case, the stay is given, removal of the function will not be needed, as the process of appeals takes place.

According to an Apple spokeswoman, this process may take around twelve months or more than that. It is the first time that any health-related feature has been eliminated from Apple Watches due to patent problems. But the filing doesn't let us know how Apple is eliminating the function from the devices, but according to the analysts it could be done by software changes.

The legal disputes between Masimo and Apple have shed light on the risk of Apple entering the health space with several players having the capability to fight patent issues with Apple. The first smartwatch with this blood-oxygen pulse oximeter feature was the Apple Watch Series 6.

As per The Hill, there were only sixty days for the Biden administration from October. They need to decide whether to veto the ban or they will let it go into effect. The Office of the U.S. Trade Representatives stated on Dec. 26 that it would not intervene.

These Watch models will go on sale in December 2023 after a federal court lifted a sales halt temporarily. The International Trade Commission ordered the halt over the patent dispute in question.

What Did Bason Say?

Tamlin Bason, a Bloomberg Intelligence analyst, said in a note that Apple might have given a steep amount of money with the aim of getting around a US import ban.

Apple's operation team has already started to ship the modified Ultra 2 and Series 9 watches to retail locations in the US. However, still, the stores were told not to open. Also, these stores were told not to sell the tweaked devices and to wait till they got approval from Apple's corporate offices. So, it could be possible that these models are the new versions that will not be available with the blood-oxygen feature.

The Bottom Line:

Pulse oximetry is a test to measure the level of oxygen or oxygen saturation in the blood. In this case, a probe, a clip-like device, is placed on an earlobe or a finger. Then, in order to measure the amount of oxygen in the blood, the device uses light subsequently. In this way, the device can decide if someone needs additional oxygen.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can the Apple Watch work as an oximeter?

Except for Apple Watch SE1, Apple Watches ( Series 6 or later) can measure oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2) for fitness applications.

1. What do you do if blood oxygen is not available on your Apple Watch?

Ensure that the Blood Oxygen app is available in your region or nation. You have to update your iPhone Xs or later to the most recent iOS version. Besides, if you use Apple Watch Series 6, Series 7, Series 8, or Apple Watch Series 9, you need to update it to the most recent version of watchOS.

1. What is the benefit of blood oxygen on the Apple Watch?

Your Apple Watch can monitor your SpO2. Thus, it can give you alerts of potential health problems before you realize that you have them. The Blood Oxygen feature can be enjoyed only on the Apple Watch Series 6 at present.

iPhone 14 Specifications and Release Date

Apple iPhone 14 will be launched on September 7, 2022 (Unofficial) at $799-$899 for 128 GB. The price varies a bit. For 256 GB, it is $899-$999 and $999-$1099 for 512 GB.

We expect the phone to come in an immersive 6.1 inches (15.49 cm) display. It features a resolution of 1170 x 2532 Pixels allowing you to watch videos or play games with a crystal clear view. In addition, a rumor says that the mobile has 4 GB, 4 GB of RAM + 64 GB of internal storage variants. This high internal storage allows you to store videos, movies, songs, and other stuff.

iPhone 14 Features:

Camera:

Camera specifications are impressive in this case. We expect that the phone comes with a Dual camera setup on the rear. It will feature 12 MP + 12 MP cameras enabling you to click excellent pictures. Besides, this device will come with a 12 MP + SL 3D camera on the front to tap on selfies and make video calls.

All the models will likely come with a new front camera with an auto-focusing feature. The front camera on all mobiles was fixed-focus. Therefore, it is a welcome upgrade enabling you to capture selfies. Besides, it allows you to make video calls with a deeper depth of field. According to the rumor, the new front camera comes with an f/1.9 aperture instead of the f/2.2 aperture.

Processor:

The mobile will come with a Hexa-core processor. It allows you to enjoy a smooth and lag-free performance while accessing many apps and playing intense graphics games. In addition, it could run the iOS v15 operating system.

Besides, you can have a decent 3115 mAh battery. These features allow you to play games, listen to songs, watch movies or videos, etc. Hence, you do not need to worry about battery drainage.

Connectivity:

Different connectivity options are available, including Wi-Fi 802.11, b/g/n, Mobile Hotspot, v5.0 Bluetooth, and 5G, 4G (supports Indian bands), 3G, and 2G. In addition, it has sensors such as Accelerometer, Gyro, Proximity, Compass, Barometer, and Siri.

Dimensions & weight:

It will have 146.7 mm x 71.5 mm x 7.4 mm dimensions and a weight of about 164 grams. We expect the size as a 6.1-inch.

Colors:

The mobile is available in purple. Rumour suggests we get the model in a purple shade with a unique finish. It helps to shift tone based on lighting conditions.

Besides, a rumor says it comes in black, white, blue, red, and purple. But it will come in graphite (possibly midnight), gold (possibly starlight), silver, and purple.

Titanium:

An investor's report from JP Morgan Chase says that the mobile features a high-end titanium alloy chassis design. The company has already used titanium for the Apple Watch. But for an iPhone, they will use titanium for the first time. In addition, the material is more scratch-resistant. Besides, it is more robust than both steel and aluminum. Moreover, it is more corrosion resistant.

Cooling:

We expected that high-end iPhones would adopt a vapor chamber thermal system at the beginning of this year. According to the company, it is aggressively testing. But the VC thermal system is essential for the high-end mobile with more robust computing power. Besides, it is necessary for quicker 5G connection speeds. Mobiles from Samsung, Razer, and LG use this technology. It helps to keep a device cooler under heavy stress. However, we are still unsure if the system will support the high requirements. But the company is working on improving it. We expect those high-end models might adopt it soon.

Lightning Port:

According to a rumor, the company wants to remove the Lightning port from the mobile for a portless design. You can complete the charging over MagSafe. But we are unsure if the recent mobiles will support the technology. However, a few mobiles will keep on having a Lightning port.

No Notch and New Face ID Hardware Design (Pro Only):

The company is working to remove the notch that houses the Face ID hardware. But it is for a few devices, especially the Pro models. While introduced in 2017, the notch was a controversial design decision. Since then, it is changing little for the size tweak with the 13th generation.

In March 2021, Ming-Chi Kuo, an analyst, said that the 2022 models might not come with a notch. Instead, these can adopt a hole-punch style design which is famous on multiple Android phones. Since then, we can guess what we should expect.

Hole Punch Feature:

Instead of working on a single hole-punch cutout, the company is working on another design. It will feature both a pill-shaped and a circular cutout. Generally, this circular cutout comes with the Face ID dot projector. In addition, the pill-shaped cutout will contain the front camera, Face ID infrared camera, and other components.

iPhone 14 software:

The smartphone features iOS 16 on board. Besides, the company showed the software on stage at WWDC 22. These are a few essential features.

• Lockscreen customization with widgets, animated images, and cleaner notifications 
• Share digital keys in the Wallet 
• More filters for Focus Mode 
• Edit and Undo Send, Mark as Unread in iMessage 
• Enhanced voice dictation with an on-screen keyboard 
• Quick Actions with text captured from the camera

• SharePlay in iMessage

The Bottom Line:

Although the company recently announced its launch on September 7, they don't reveal the secret. However, we expect the company to allow us to experience the new iPhone 14 series at this event.

In addition, the company will announce the Watch Series 8, its Pro version, and a new update to the Watch SE. Besides, you can also expect the announcement of the new AirPods 2nd Gen at the event. If the company finds enough bandwidth, you can see a new base iPad at the event.
