    A statement (via CNBC) from the Office of US Trade Representative Katherine Tai said the agency “decided not to reverse the ITC’s [International Trade Commission] determination” after “careful consideration.”

    The ITC issued the ban after finding that Apple infringed on blood oxygen saturation technology patented by a company called Masimo.

    It also ordered Apple to stop selling any previously-imported devices with the infringed-upon tech.

    While Apple attempted to block the decision while awaiting an appeal, the ITC denied Apple’s request, and the other chance of intervention was a veto from President Joe Biden, which didn’t happen.

    Apple will also continue selling the Watch SE, as it doesn’t come with a blood oxygen sensor.

    But both of those methods might not be enough to satisfy the ITC, which is why Apple could always choose to settle with Masimo instead.
