Genius! SpaceX Big Solution To Protect Starship Heat Shield In Upcoming RE-ENTRY...
Developing a thermal protection system for rocket reentry is essentially very difficult. SpaceX's CEO, Elon Musk emphasized that:
"A super reliable, light, reusable heat shield is the biggest technical challenge remaining for Starship"
To overcome the obstacle, SpaceX has to go step by step, and everything has been kicked off from this place, the nosecone with the new tiles is on. At a glance, the new ones are the same as the old ones, yeah, the same shape and being arranged in the same pattern.

However, the upgrade is about the type of adhesive to attach them to the vehicle's body. Why can I say that? Although there is no information, as far as I know, about what kind of new glue has already been installed there, we can see clearly that the team has switched from the blue tile adhesive to the new red one.

In addition to the glue, SpaceX also uses metal pins. Normally, the heat tiles that are attached via metal pins have the standard size and are thinner. The thick ones from the leading wing edges and nosecone are attached with glue. Both serve different functions, with some being thinner for weight reduction and others thicker for added insulation. Beneath the thinner tiles, there is a white ceramic mat that provides additional insulation and helps minimize heat transfer to the hull.
