    They also have more than enough money to drain Masimo by dragging them through legal proceedings, so Apple can just swoop in and buy them out.

      But there’s no reason for Apple to do that it would have been cheaper for them to just pay for the license. I think they didn’t think they’d get called out on it, and now they don’t know what to do.

      I’m not sure how big Masimo is, but they probably have reasonably deep pockets too considering they manufacture and sell a ton of hospital equipment.

      If Apple wanted to buy out Masimo it certainly wouldn’t be cheap, and would probably upset their shareholders, but they do have the money
