• The news comes after Apple won a temporary reprieve against a sales ban on its watches.
• It’s believed this functionality will be removed if the Apple’s appeal fails.

Apple was struck by a major blow in December when its Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 were both subjected to sales bans. The bans, which were temporarily lifted a few weeks ago, came after a legal battle with medical equipment manufacturer Masimo.

Now, Bloomberg reports that Apple plans to remove blood-oxygen tracking functionality from the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra if an appeal on the sales ban fails.
