According to foreign media reports, Apple has appointed Vice President of Platform Architecture Tim Millet to lead a secret team called the "Exploratory Design Group" (XDG), which was previously led by scientist Bill Athas. Miller, who has been with Apple for nearly 20 years, reports to Apple chip chief Johny Srouji. Foreign media said that Miller played a key role in the transition to Apple chips.

In addition to now leading the secretive XDG team, Miller leads several teams developing next-generation processors and other computer components.
Apple has been working on blood glucose monitoring technology for a long time. On February 23, people familiar with the matter revealed that Apple has recently made some significant progress in the field of "non-invasive blood sugar monitoring" technology and believes that it can eventually bring blood sugar monitoring technology to the market. The company’s ultimate goal is to apply the monitoring system to Apple Watch to achieve non-invasive and continuous blood glucose monitoring.
Rather than working on new generations of existing products, Apple's XDG team is working on a number of creative projects, including a non-invasive blood glucose monitor for the Apple Watch.
According to foreign media reports, Apple's XDG team was established a few years ago and is composed of engineers and academic talents. Just like Alphabet's "moon landing" team, they have access to a large number of resources to try almost any idea.
Previously, a senior reporter who has been following Apple for a long time said that XDG only has a few hundred employees, which is much smaller than the "Special Projects Group" (Special Projects Group) responsible for the "Apple Car" and the thousand-person "Technology Development Group" (Technology Development Group) dedicated to Apple's mixed reality (MR) headset.
He also noted that the team is currently working on next-generation display technology, artificial intelligence (AI), features for AR/VR headsets, as well as low-power processor technology and next-generation batteries for smartphones. (little fox)
