In the United States, Apple Watch owners just have a great reason to update their devices. Apple has just deployed a characteristic of blood oxygen redesigned to specific models, after a recent victory in a legal dispute. This change affects Apple Watch Series 9 users, Series 10 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 which were without functionality due to the current battle.
