Opinion: Nokia hasn’t been healthy for Withings, Apple should consider HealthKit hardware

<div class="feat-image">(https://9to5mac.files.wordpress.com/2018/02/apple-store-nokia.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1024)</div><p>Nokia’s ownership of Withings has been incredibly messy. After buying (https://9to5mac.com/2016/04/26/nokia-withings-health-iphone/) Withings in mid-2016, Nokia sued (https://9to5mac.com/2016/12/21/apple-nokia-patent-lawsuit/) Apple over unrelated patents which resulted in Withings digital health products being pulled (https://9to5mac.com/2016/12/23/like-bose-apple-pulls-nokias-withings-health-product-line-from-stores-in-wake-of-patent-dispute/) from the Apple Store.</p>
<p>While that dispute has since been resolved (https://9to5mac.com/2017/05/23/apple-settles-patent-dispute-with-nokia-withings-products-returning-to-apple-store/), Nokia now says it is reviewing its digital health business altogether. The result could be positive or negative for Withings customers depending on where ownership lands.</p>
<p>As a Withings customer myself, my hope is that Apple buys the digital health product business from Nokia — if only to do the bare minimum to maintain hardware that works with Apple HealthKit.</p>
