I agree, richard. I love the fall feature. It’s huge. Lots and lots of people live alone. Actually, what didn’t excite me with all this stuff inside of images that they want you to look at. It’s cool. But I surely do wish they would fix the mail problems that have gone on fixed for a while. Oh

Nothing about Glucose detection, but since that will need to be a hardware change, unless someone figures out how to detect glucose levels the same way they do oxygen; you will have to wait until the fall reveal of the new phones, and possibly watches. I think if Apple can pull that off, it
