Apple is Developing a Plastic-Cased Apple Watch SE for Release Next Year

TapTechNews September 15th news, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman's report, Apple is still developing an Apple Watch SE with a plastic case, which is expected to be released next year.

TapTechNews learned from the report that although Apple encountered some challenges in terms of cost and quality when switching from aluminum alloy to plastic case, the project is still advancing. The more affordable Apple Watch SE with a colorful plastic case may attract those parents who want to buy an Apple Watch for their children.

Currently, the starting price of the Apple Watch SE released in 2022 in China is 1999 yuan. If Apple can introduce a cheaper plastic version, it may further expand its market share.
