The resignation of Masimo's former CEO Joe Kiani could pave the way for a compromise between Apple and Masimo, potentially bringing back Masimo's oximetry technology to the Apple Watch. The U.S. International Trade Commission had previously ruled that Apple infringed on Masimo's patents for this technology.

The U.S. International Trade Commission ruled that Apple had infringed Masimo’s patents for this technology. Apple has been trying to find a workaround ever since that didn’t include settling with Masimo.
Kiani has also been a thorn in Apple’s side for years according to Gurman. The former CEO has been calling out Apple for various misdeeds for a long time and, as a result, has likely made Apple less willing to negotiate. Furthermore, Apple probably felt even more pressured recently whenKiani’s resignation will most likely lead to an overhaul of how Masimo conducts business.
