Apple defends Apple Watch despite oximeter ban, cites other top features
- Apple CEO says there are still plenty of reasons to buy the Apple Watch Series 9, despite the banned blood oxygen sensor
- Tim Cook argues the Apple Watch still has many class-leading features, even without the now-disabled monitor
- Cook seems unwilling to settle the patent dispute with Masimo over the sensor, suggesting no quick resolution
- While you can't buy a new Apple Watch with the sensor from Apple or retailers, existing stock still exists at places like Amazon
- If the blood oxygen monitor is important to you, you can buy the older models with the feature from third-party retailers
