Apple halting Apple Watch sales
Kind of crazy and really surprised this isn’t being discussed more on Blind. Some people are calling Masimo patent trolls for this and some people are saying it’s legitimate patent infringement. What’s blind’s take? I don’t know enough to have an opinion but I like my Apple Watch 😞
Correct, this is specific to the SpO2 feature on the watch, which includes all watches series 6 and later.
Don’t Samsung and Garmin have this as well?
Ngl, that's quite ironic lol
Apple is the og patent troll, and now holding texting hostage to sell their shitty overpriced junk. Can't wait for this pos company to just go away
Should I buy a bunch?
Doesn't Apple always just steal tech from other companies, put a nicer look on it, and resell it as their own? Xerox, iPods, maybe even iPhone? Now this. Par for the course
If so I’m surprised they’re able to get away with it in plain sight
Apparently Apple poached employees from Masimo to help develop the feature under dispute.
it's only the watches that measure oxygen levels in your blood, no?
Yeah but isn’t that most (all?) of them
I didnt think so, but maybe it is. i dont have an apple watch.
