Apple CEO Tim Cook told CNBC in a statement shared on live television that Apple has no intention to license Masimo’s patents. While it seemed likely that was the case, the company hadn’t said as much publicly until now.
“We’re focused on appeal,” Cook’s statement said. “There’s lots of reasons to buy the watch even without the blood oxygen sensor.”
Their anticompetitive behavior lately (well always, but especially lately) feels so whiny and infantile.
They’re kicking and screaming about their closed ecosystem and stealing patented information.
