- Recently published documentation has revealed how Apple might bring blood oxygen tracking back to affected Apple Watches.
- The documentation suggests that Apple could re-enable the feature via a software update.
Apple suffered a serious blow back in January when it was forced to remove blood oxygen tracking capabilities from recent Apple Watches. The blow came after Apple lost a legal battle against medical health firm Masimo over the feature. However, it looks like there’s a pathway to re-enable this feature in the future.
The US Customs and Border Protection agency has published the exclusion order for the Apple Watch Ultra 2 and Apple Watch Series 9, IP Fray reported (via MacRumors). The order reveals that Masimo was able to re-enable blood oxygen tracking on offending Apple Watches by jailbreaking a paired, older iPhone running an out-of-date version of iOS.
