Aren’t they going to nerf rev 1 with a software update anyway?
That was the rumor, but it's tailor-made for a class action suit.
Is this a hardware revision or just disabling them in software? The swift timing makes it seem as if it’s just software, with the feature likely being flipped back on at some point in the future.
From the original ruling it sounded like having the even just the sensor in the watch would be infringing. It sounds like these are new watch they are importing, but the article doesn't make it clear if that is the case.
So instead of paying for the rights to use it, they're going to drop the feature?
God damn Apple are cheap fuckers.
