  • Apple's stripping out blood oxygen sensing from Apple Watch enough to skirt import ban

    teejay2012teejay2012
    I am glad. Whether you like or dislike Apple, medical devices should have some exception to other product categories.

    That being said, I hope Masimo gets reimbursed for their troubles.

    Masimo has become a bit of a troll and it seems the ITC has over reached on their decision.
    From iMore, Florian Mueller is a  patent expert and legal expert has written, “Apple sometimes engages in bullying, but the ITC’s attack is gratuitous, disingenuous and irresponsible,” noting the ITC’s own record shows that Apple created the disputed pulse oxymetry technology independently and that Masimo “tactically designed the patents-in-suit after Apple’s independent innovation, and more than 10 years after the original applications, in order to read on the relevant Apple Watch feature.”

    I think Masimo should get 'rewarded' for the trouble they have caused themselves and their shareholders LOL. They have spent 100 million on this and they only make 120 million a year in profit!

  • DoJ's Apple App Store probe is 'firing on all cylinders'

    Apple has grown too big and does not provide enough payola to Washington.

  • Apple still pursuing software fix to avoid Apple Watch import ban altogether

    I haven't looked closely at the patents in question, but isn't it the general idea of using light that's at issue? That makes it a hardware violation, not software. I can't think of any other way it can be done, so if it is this light-based approach, it sounds like Mosimo holds the cards no matter how Apple changes the software.

    The basis of O2 saturation sensing is 80 years old. Masimo acquired patents that describe data acquisition from the sensor and their remaining patents (most have now been invalidated by the USPTO) are a 'continuation' with slight modifications. So Apple could very well have a software solution.

  • Apple rumored to pick and choose which markets will get sideloading in iOS 17

    teejay2012teejay2012
    I wonder if this will provide an advantage to EU companies and developers. It seems EU policy changes in past have contained bias. Apple and others will of course conform, but I seriously believe this will not be good for the vast majority of iOS users.

  • Apple considers dropping face mask mandate for Apple Store staff

    teejay2012teejay2012
    Without masks, there will be no store policy to physically distance. 'If' I go into a store, I will wear a mask and treat those without masks like I do people with bad breath by politely backing away from them. No doubt some will be offended but my health is more important than their feelings.
