Wear OS smartwatches no longer have this leg up over the Apple Watch

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-29 12:52:52

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Apple is restoring blood oxygen tracking to certain US Apple Watch models via iOS and watchOS updates. The refreshed setup uses the watch to take readings but calculates and displays results on the paired iPhone. The feature was removed in January 2024 due to a patent dispute and an import ban. Apple Watch owners in the US are getting a health-tracking feature back that many thought might be gone for good. After more than a year in limbo, the blood oxygen

9to5mac.com Ben Schoon 2025-11-29 12:56:54

The existing Philips Hue bridge is a core part of any Hue setup. The bridge connects to your network and communicates with each product, and is part of the reason Hue tends to be more stable than hub-less smart home offerings. But the hardware hasn’t been updated in a while, and a common complaint is that it can only support 50 devices at a time. Th

In early 2024, Apple removed a blood oxygen monitoring feature from its then-current Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 watches, following a ruling that the feature violated light-based pulse oximetry patents from a California-based company called Masimo.

When The Conjuring debuted in 2013, directed by James Wan, the movie felt like a throwback to atmospheric 1970s horror flicks such as The Changeling or The Manitou. From its simple opening title card -- yellow text on a black background -- to its relatively little gore and slow build of suspense, The Conjuring was a breath of fresh air. It arrived at a time when the horror genre was rampant with gruesome movies like Saw (which was also directed by Wan) and Hostel. The Conjuring kick-started not
