Apple wins antitrust appeal against AliveCor over Apple Watch heart monitoring

ithome.com (Chinese)

A US federal appeals court ruled Apple won against AliveCor, upholding a decision that Apple did not illegally monopolize the Apple Watch heart analysis app market. The court found Apple's changes to its watchOS heart rate algorithm access and its own irregular rhythm notification feature did not constitute anti-competitive behavior, rejecting AliveCor's claims. This ruling follows AliveCor's earlier loss in a patent dispute with Apple at the International Trade Commission in March 2025.
