Apple may use plastic body, instead of aluminium, in Watch SE 2024: Report

Apple is reportedly working on a “rigid plastic” body for the next-generation Apple Watch SE model. According to a report by 9To5Mac, citing Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, it is “increasingly likely” that Apple would shift to a rigid plastic body for the next Apple Watch SE model “for a better array of colours.”

According to the report, Apple could launch the next-generation Apple Watch SE this year, alongside the iPhone 16 and Apple Watch Series 10. Apart from the all-plastic body, the third-generation Apple Watch SE could feature a new processor. As per the report, this affordable Apple Watch model could be powered by the S9 chip that debuted last year with the Apple Watch Series 9.
