Welcome to 9 to 5 Mac Daily for Wednesday, May 27, 26.

Leading off today, Apple has reportedly been working for many years to bring non-invasive glucose monitoring to the Apple Watch.

According to a new report from Bloomberg, this project might have just hit a notable turning point.

This effort was first conceived during the Steve Jobs era, and it aims to develop sensors

capable of detecting elevated blood sugar levels without requiring finger pricks or blood draws.

Recently, Apple shifted oversight of the project from platform architecture chief Tim Malay to Zhang

Chin, the senior engineering leader overseeing the Advanced Technologies Group and hardware like modems. Inside Apple, people view

this transition as a sign the work on the project may finally be progressing to a point

where chin, known as someone who delivers, can ramp up development of the technology into

an eventual consumer-grade offering. This doesn't mean we'll see Apple Watch gain non-invasive glucose monitoring this year,

or even next year, or the year after that.

It could still be several years away.

However, this movement of responsibility is an encouraging sign of Apple making meaningful

progress towards accomplishing this moonshot goal.

Apple CEO Tim Cook has repeatedly said that he wants Apple's greatest contribution to society

to be in the healthcare space, and this is an important part of reaching that goal.

Next up today, in response to the European Union's Digital Markets Act, Apple is reportedly working on the ability to replace Airplay with other third-party streaming protocols at a system level.

According to a new report, Apple might concede this feature and let these alternative streaming protocols tap into iOS at a native level.

This means that outside services, such as Googlecast, could be set by users as the default

solution for beaming videos, photos, and audio from an Apple device to a speaker or TV.
