Apple’s blood oxygen monitoring returns to its latest Apple Watches


The change doesn’t affect previously sold models with the original version of the feature or units bought outside the U.S.

With this move, Apple is bringing back blood oxygen monitoring by tweaking the feature to get around the International Trade Commission’s (ITC) import ban. Blood oxygen data will be measured and calculated on the user’s paired iPhone, and results can be viewed in the Respiratory section of the Health app. The move comes as Apple has been in an ongoing legal dispute with medical device maker Masimo, which has accused the tech giant of stealing its pulse oximetry technology after initial talks about a potential collaboration.
