Apple plans to pause the sales of its latest smartwatch models, Series 9 and Ultra 2, due to a ruling that found Apple in violation of Masimo's patents related to pulse oximeters. This decision follows an October ruling by the International Trade Commission, resulting in an import ban. Masimo, specializing in pulse oximeters, stated that the ruling demonstrates the necessity for even major corporations to comply with the law. While the sales pause might not significantly affect the holiday season, an extended halt could impact sales in 2024. Apple has various options to address the ban, including settling with Masimo, making software updates to bypass patent infringement, or appealing the Commission's decision. President Biden's administration has until Christmas Day to review the ruling.
