Wall Street had a WordPress problem today: Automattic's Matt Mullenweg is out on paid leave after his own CFO reportedly maneuvered the board against him. Apple's actual news cycle — new iPhones, new Health app, black is back — played out in the background like it wasn't the thing everyone expected to be talking about.

#### [Automattic CEO Matt Mullenweg Put on 'Leave of Absence'](https://www.404media.co/wordpress-automattic-ceo-matt-mullenweg-put-on-leave-of-absence/?ref=adjacent.media)

Mullenweg says CFO Mark Davies "conspired" with board members to get him sidelined and installed as interim CEO — messy, and not the kind of thing companies usually announce over company-wide Slack. *(404 Media)*

Groq called it a "nonexclusive licensing agreement" at the time; regulators now want to know if that framing was designed to dodge antitrust review. *(New York Times)*

#### [Apple unveils revamped Health app with "Health Age" and readiness scores](https://techcrunch.com/2026/09/09/apples-revamped-health-app-will-calculate-your-health-age-and-readiness-score/?ref=adjacent.media)

Apple Intelligence now wants to tell you how old your body actually is — rolling out later this year, presumably right when you're ready to stop thinking about it. *(TechCrunch)*

#### [The black iPhone Pro returns](https://www.theverge.com/tech/993048/iphone-18-pro-black-color?ref=adjacent.media)

After a run of glossy titanium neutrals, Apple brought back basic black — proof that sometimes the hardware story is just admitting people wanted the boring color all along. *(The Verge)*
