In addition to computers and smartphones, Apple is also active in the smartwatch market with its Watch product line. The company releases a new series every year and continues its Watch SE series, which is more affordable compared to other models.

Apple most recently launched the 2nd generation Watch SE in September 2022. After a two-year gap, it was expected that the company would announce the 3rd generation Watch SE alongside the iPhone 16 at the September 9th event, but this did not happen. However, the latest information has stirred curiosity in the smartwatch world.

Plastic-cased Apple Watch SE on the way

Mark Gurman from Bloomberg, known for his Apple-related leaks, has suggested that the tech giant is working on a new Watch SE with a plastic case. The 2nd generation watch introduced by the company in 2022 had an aluminum case. In this context, it is said that the company has faced cost and quality issues during the transition from aluminum to plastic, but this has not affected the development process.

According to the reports, Apple is expected to release the plastic-cased Watch SE model next year. The 3rd generation smartwatch is anticipated to offer higher performance with a more powerful processor, and its price is also a subject of interest.

The Watch SE, which was released in 2022, was sold for $249 in the United States, Apple’s home country. In this context, next year’s smartwatch is expected to have a slightly lower price. We will see this together.
