Apple CEO Tim Cook told CNBC in a statement shared on live television that Apple has no intention to license Masimo’s patents. While it seemed likely that was the case, the company hadn’t said as much publicly until now.
“We’re focused on appeal,” Cook’s statement said. “There’s lots of reasons to buy the watch even without the blood oxygen sensor.”
“”There’s lots of reasons to buy the watch even without the blood oxygen sensor””.
I’m sorry but that was the entire reason I was going to trade-in my series 4 for a newer one. So I guess my series 4 that barely last 20hrs will continue to live on my nightstand. I would wear a normal watch if my health wasn’t garbage or if I could ever feel my phone vibrate when it is in my pocket.
You and Tim Apple can both be right on this one.
I’m sure Masimo will offer a watch with a blood oxygen measurement tool built in. You can just buy that one.
It will start at $1000.
🤷
Can’t you take a trip to Canada or Europe and buy one?
That is a valid option. However, I do not feel it is worth the investment to just purchase a watch.
To be honest when I made my initial comment I was having a bad day and reading Cook’s statement irrationally irritated me.
