Apple Watch SE with a plastic case: affordable smartwatches will become even cheaper
Apple is preparing to release new smartwatch models with improved characteristics, but is faced with difficulties in implementing certain health functions. The company is also considering creating a more affordable version of the Apple Watch SE.
Apple Watch Update
New Series 10 Models
According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the upcoming Apple Watch Series 10 will feature a larger display and an improved processor. It is expected that the design of the devices will not undergo significant changes, but the body will become thinner. The new items will be available in two sizes, and the screen of one of the models will be comparable in size to the Apple Watch Ultra.
Technological Innovation
New chip in 2024 watch could power future improvements in artificial intelligence . However, there are currently no plans to integrate a full Apple Intelligence system into the Apple Watch. The company is also exploring the possibility of using 3D printing to make the bodies of some models, which could optimize the production process and reduce material consumption.
Issues with Health Features
Apple has faced significant challenges in developing hypertension and sleep apnea detection features. Insufficient reliability of the high pressure detection system may lead to the postponement of its launch to next year. The implementation of the sleep apnea detection feature is subject to the resolution of a legal dispute with Masimo regarding blood oxygen measurement.
Available version of Apple Watch SE
According to information from Mark Gurman, Apple is developing a budget version of the Apple Watch SE with a plastic case instead anodized aluminum. This will reduce the cost of the device and make it more competitive compared to analogues from other manufacturers, for example, Samsung Galaxy Watch FE.

Wow, the Apple Watch Series 10 with a larger display sounds interesting! I wonder how much thinner they will be? 🤔 I would love to buy if they actually become thinner and lighter.
Sophia
Liam, I'm interested too! But I'm more excited about the new health features. It’s a pity that problems arose with hypertension and sleep apnea. These features could actually save lives. 😔
Pierre
And I was intrigued by the idea of 3D printing cases. This could seriously change production! I wonder how this will affect the price and quality of the watch? 🖨️
Isabella
Pierre, I agree! 3D printing sounds innovative. But the plastic case for the SE confuses me. Although, if it makes the watch more accessible, why not? 💁♀️
Klaus
Ha, another show-off from Apple. Why do we need this watch when there are regular ones? All these new features are just a marketing ploy to get more money out of your pockets. It would be better to do something really useful.
Liam
Klaus, I disagree. Apple Watch really helps you monitor your health. Thanks to them, my friend discovered his heart problems in time. Technologies are developing, and that's great! 👍
Elena
And I'm interested in how the new processor will affect work with AI in the future. Maybe soon the clock will be able to predict our condition and make recommendations? Sounds like science fiction! 🤖✨
Sophia
Elena, wow! Imagine if a watch could alert you to stress or fatigue before we even notice it. It would be great! I hope Apple continues to develop these technologies despite the current difficulties. 🙏
