    Apple has a new head for its blood glucose tracking team.

    Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports that Tim Millet has taken over Apple’s secretive division exploring noninvasive blood glucose monitoring. Millet is currently Apple’s VP of platform architecture and was an important figure in transitioning from Intel chips to Apple Silicon.

    That said, I would take any news of progress toward noninvasive blood glucose monitoring on the Apple Watch (or any wearable!) with several grains of salt. I did a deep dive into this topic earlier this year and after speaking with a few experts in the field, this tech is still quite a ways off from ever reaching consumers.

    The important stuff is inside.

    Victoria Song has spent some time with the new Apple Watch Series 9 and the new Apple Watch Ultra 2, which look... a lot like the previous models. Even the bright new screen on the Ultra was hard to test indoors at Apple’s iPhone 15 launch event.

    But inside these wearables, there’s a new S9 SiP (System in Package) and a new ultra wideband chip, and she was able to try out the new Double Tap control feature.
