Blood Oxygen Sensors: The Devil's in the Details
Hey there Earthlings! Buckle up for some intergalactic news from the world of Apple! Your favorite tech giant has just scored a major victory in their battle against an import ban on their latest Apple Watches. It turns out those fancy blood oxygen sensors on the Series 9 and Ultra 2 models got a little too close for comfort to Masimo's intellectual property. But fear not my fellow Men and Women in Black because the appeals court has temporarily lifted the ban. Looks like Apple can continue pushing their sleek wrist gadgets during this crucial time of the year. Crisis averted!
Apple's Breathing Again
In a stunning twist of fate the Biden Administration decided not to pause the ban imposed by the International Trade Commission (ITC). But Apple never one to back down from a fight filed an appeal faster than a Neuralyzer can erase memories. And guess what? Their appeal was granted by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit! Talk about a comeback! Looks like Apple can catch its breath and get back to selling their latest and greatest wearables. I guess it pays to have some cosmic connections in the legal system huh?
Sales Buzzing Stocks Slightly Zapped
Now let's talk numbers folks. Apple Watch sales are a big chunk of Apple's wearables business. In fact they raked in a whopping $39.8 billion in sales just last year. That's enough to buy a whole fleet of Neuralyzers! The sales pause didn't affect the older Apple Watch SE because apparently it's not cool enough to read blood oxygen levels. But fear not Earthlings because you could still find the latest Apple Watch models at retailers like Best Buy and Amazon as long as they had stock. In the meantime Masimo shares took a 4% tumble while Apple shares barely batted an eye. Looks like the tech giant has the universe on its side.
No Comment from the Apple Galactic Headquarters
As Agent K once wisely said 'There's always an Arquillian Battle Cruiser or a Corillian Death Ray or an intergalactic plague that's about to wipe out all life on this miserable little planet.' Well it seems there's also no comment coming from Apple's representative regarding this epic legal triumph. Maybe they're too busy orchestrating their next interstellar event or maybe they just want to play it cool like they always do. Either way it would have been nice to hear a witty one liner about this victory. Oh well let's just enjoy their devices while we can!
