Apple Watch Gets Blood Oxygen Feature Back (20250814)
Apple is bringing back the blood oxygen feature for some models of the Apple Watch. The iPhone maker was forced to remove the capability nearly two years ago due to a patent dispute with medical technology company Masimo. The feature known as pulse oximetry measures oxygen saturation in blood. In a statement, Apple said users of some models of the Watch Series 9 and 10, as well as the Ultra 2 will be able to use the redesigned feature with a software update being pushed later today. The tech giant also said it was enabled by a recent US customs ruling. A spokesman from Masimo didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. And the buy now pay later company Klarna saw a jump in revenue in the second quarter. As momentum in the US, its biggest market continues to accelerate. The company posted a revenue of $823 million up from $682 million in the same period a year prior. Last year's figure was inflated by the sale of its online checkout solution, Klarna Checkout. The Swedish financial services company said it added 202,000 merchants over the past year, and it said it's expanding its footprint through partnerships with Walmart, eBay, J.P. Morgan, and more. Finally, Chinese Tech giant Tencent's accelerated second quarter revenue growth shows its investments in artificial intelligence have paid off Citi analysts said in a research note. They said the contribution of high margin revenue streams such as domestic games and video accounts, as well as its disciplined spending on AI has enabled Tencent to continue to grow profits. Tencent's gaming business has become one of the earliest segments to benefit from AI.
