This is the best summary I could come up with:
The move comes as the products are facing a potential import ban until August 2028, due to rulings that the watches infringe on patents from Masimo.
In October, the US International Trade Commission (ITC) upheld a January ruling that Apple Watches with pulse oximeter features infringe on two Masimo patents.
While the review period will not end until December 25, Apple is preemptively taking steps to comply should the ruling stand.
However, we've already seen Biden decline to veto an ITC ruling that the Apple Watch infringes on electrocardiogram sensor-related patents owned by AliveCor.
California-based Masimo has alleged that Apple started engaging in discussions with the company in 2013 under the premise of a potential partnership.
Apple made $39,845,000 [PDF] in wearables, home, and accessories sales for fiscal year 2023, (which ended September 20).
