Thats the question looming over the Cupertino company right now.
The Apple Watch ban explained
What is the whole furore surrounding the Apple Watch?
Well, as noted above, Masimo Corp. has accused Apple of infringing some of its health-related patents.
These bans will affect Apples online store from December 21, with brick-and-mortar locations following suit on December 24.
It seems that Apple believes its software tweaks will be enough to placate regulators.
Yet interestingly, Gurman notes that the patents at the heart of the dispute are mostly related to hardware.
Masimo Corp. itself has said it doesnt think a software fix will be enough.

If the ban goes ahead, it wont be a total blackout.
The White House might also issue a last-minute veto.
Whatever happens, itll make for fascinating viewing we’ll update you as soon as anything changes.
