Apple just lost a major patent fight. A federal judge upheld a $634 million jury verdict after ruling that the Apple Watch qualifies as a “patent monitor” — the exact term Apple argued should only apply to hospital-grade medical equipment. In this video I break down the full Apple vs. Masimo timeline, from the original 2020 trade-secrets lawsuit and the 2023 International Trade Commission import ban, to the December 2023 sales pause on the Series 9 and Ultra 2, Apple’s clever August 2025 workaround that moved blood oxygen processing to the iPhone, and the November 2025 jury verdict over heart rate monitoring. Judge Selna denied both of Apple’s motions — one to overturn the verdict and one for a new trial — so Apple is now headed to the Federal Circuit on appeal.
