Apple Watch SE with a plastic body likely to launch in 2025: Report
A new report states that Apple has not ditched its plans of launching the Apple SE 3 and that it is expected to arrive sometime next year.

Apple Watch SE: Apple launched the Apple Watch Series 10 alongside the iPhone 16 series and fourth generation AirPods at 'It's Glowtime' event last week. In addition to that, the company also announced a new colour variant for the Apple Watch Ultra 2, which was originally launched in 2023. What we did not see at Apple's event last week is an upgrade to the Apple Watch SE. Now, a new report states that Apple has not ditched its plans of launching the Apple SE 3 and that it is expected to arrive sometime next year.
For the unversed, Apple first launched a pocket-friendly Apple Watch, that is, the Apple Watch SE at its annual event in September 2022. The company refreshed its Apple Watch SE lineup by launching the second generation Apple Watch SE in September 2022. Given the life cycle that the company has followed for the Apple Watch SE so far, reports indicated that the company could launch the third-generation Apple Watch SE at its event on September 9. However, the missed launch window left buyers looking for a pocket-friendly Apple Watch question. Now, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has said that the company is still planning to launch the Apple Watch SE.
In his Power On newsletter, Gurman said that the third generation Apple Watch SE will come with a plastic case and be available in an array of colour variants. Opting for a diverse colour palette could help Apple appeal a much more younger user base. In his newsletter, Gurman also said that the third generation Apple Watch SE will also come with an updated chipset. Although it remains unclear which processor the company will use. The second generation Apple Watch SE is powered by the company's dated S8 chipset. It is the same processor that the company introduced with the launch of the Apple Watch Series 8.
