  • Apple is reportedly working on software changes to go around the potential Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 ban.
  • Engineers at the company are racing against time to change how the blood oxygen measurement system works on the smartwatches.
  • However, a simple software fix may not be enough to resolve Apple’s patent infringement problems.

While Apple has announced preemptive plans to temporarily halt sales for the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 due to a patent dispute, it is also hurrying to devise a fix that will save its latest smartwatches from being formally banned in the US.
