Apple says:

> This update was enabled by a recent U.S. Customs ruling.

I can't find the ruling in question, though, so I'm not sure what they mean.

This is the January 2024 ruling allowing Apple to resume imports of Apple Watches to the US with the blood oxygen feature disabled. Hopefully the recent ruling will show up on this site at some point.

Presumably they mean it was enabled by the bribe they publicly gave the US President last week, and he or his goons have told them to expect a favorable ruling soon.
