Apple CEO Tim Cook told CNBC in a statement shared on live television that Apple has no intention to license Masimo’s patents. While it seemed likely that was the case, the company hadn’t said as much publicly until now.
“We’re focused on appeal,” Cook’s statement said. “There’s lots of reasons to buy the watch even without the blood oxygen sensor.”
That is a valid option. However, I do not feel it is worth the investment to just purchase a watch.
To be honest when I made my initial comment I was having a bad day and reading Cook’s statement irrationally irritated me.
