Threat of ban on Apple's smartwatch; 1.40 lakh crore industry is in trouble

Apple की स्मार्टवॉच पर बैन का खतरा; 1.40 लाख करोड़ की इंडस्ट्री संकट में है


Apple, the world's largest company, is taking necessary steps to protect its smartwatches from the US ban. The company's engineers are busy repairing the software of the device that measures the user's blood oxygen level. Medical device maker Massimo Corporation has argued that it owns a patent for a feature that measures blood oxygen levels in Apple's smartwatches. Some of the iPhone maker's products have been banned in some countries due to legal disputes. However, the ban will affect Apple's largest market, the US. International trade from December 25 unless the US government intervenes Commission ban will apply.




Apple could compromise Massimo. But it doesn't do that. Apple is currently trying to satisfy regulatory agencies by changing its technology. Apple is preparing a number of legal and technical options in the event of a ban. It has sent out new photos promoting Apple Watches at its retail outlets. This excludes Series 9 and Ultra 2 models. These models may come under ban. The company's SE Watch will be available.

Apple Watch models will be banned, Messimo said in a statement The decision shows that the world's most powerful company must follow the law. Apple thinks smartwatches will return to stores with a software change rather than a complicated hardware change. But this controversy is mostly related to hardware. Massimo says software improvements won't be enough. Hardware changes are required.

A ban on ITC would be like an import ban. For this reason, Apple will not be able to sell its smart watches in the US. In other countries watches are assembled. Elements also come from outside. patent Evan Zimmerman, CEO of drafting software company Edge, says these types of disputes are resolved before they even get to this point. Such disputes are rare due to import bans. Evan says the challenge will be for Apple to resolve the dispute through software changes. The company is working on improving the hardware and software. Because new technology will take time to reach the market. Apple's software testing process is long. If Apple had to remove hardware from its devices, it would take three months to build new models and ship them to market, according to a person familiar with the company's operations. The ITC ban will apply to Apple's direct sales channel. So third party retailers like Walmart, Best Buy and Target will be able to sell smartwatches from their stores. Walmart and Best Buy said they have no plans to end the sale. The US government (White House) has the right to block the decision of the ITC. Massimo Electronics is based in Irvine California. Therefore, the government will have to decide in favor of one of these two companies, an American company.
