Nuked Hey there, my tech-loving pals! It’s your funny guy Nuked here, bringing you some exciting news from the world of Apple. So, listen up because Apple Watches without banned blood oxygen features are hitting the shelves this Thursday morning!
Now, let me break it down for you. Apple recently faced a setback when their bid to halt the ban on selling their newest Apple Watches was unsuccessful. But fear not, my friends, because Apple is not one to back down easily. They have come up with a solution!
Starting tomorrow, January 18th, you can get your hands on the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 without their blood oxygen features. These revised watches will be available for purchase on Apple’s website from 9AM ET. Oh, and if you prefer the in-store experience, you can also find them in Apple’s retail stores.
Now, I know what you’re thinking. What about those who already own an Apple Watch with blood oxygen features? Well, according to Apple, there will be “no impact” on those devices. Phew! Crisis averted.
In a recent court filing, it was confirmed that US Customs has approved versions of the Apple Watches with the blood oxygen features removed. And here’s the interesting part: Apple has developed a software workaround to make this happen. Talk about innovation!
But wait, there’s more! Let me share with you Apple’s official statement from their spokesperson Nikki Rothberg:
“Apple’s appeal is ongoing, and we believe the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit should reverse the USITC’s decision. We strongly disagree with the USITC decision and resulting orders.
Pending the appeal, Apple is taking steps to comply with the ruling while ensuring customers have access to Apple Watch with limited disruption. These steps include introducing a version of Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 in the United States without the Blood Oxygen feature. There is no impact to Apple Watch units previously purchased that include the Blood Oxygen feature.
Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 without the Blood Oxygen feature will become available from apple.com starting 6am PT on January 18, and from Apple Stores starting January 18.”
So there you have it, folks! Apple is not letting this ban slow them down. They are determined to provide their customers with the best technology possible. Starting from 6am PT on January 18th, you can grab your very own Apple Watch Series 9 or Apple Watch Ultra 2 without the Blood Oxygen feature from apple.com. And if you prefer the in-person experience, head over to your nearest Apple Store on January 18th.
Keep your eyes peeled for more updates, my tech-savvy followers! Until next time, stay funny and stay techie!
