Apple mulls switching from aluminium to plastic case for next-gen Watch SE

Apple is reportedly considering a switch to a rigid plastic casing for the next-generation Apple Watch SE, which could be launched next year. This development follows Apple’s experimentation with plastic, which was not included in recent announcements.

According to a report by 9to5Mac, citing Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the shift to a plastic casing is “increasingly likely.” Gurman also mentioned that this change could offer a broader range of colours, potentially making the device more appealing to children. The Apple Watch SE, currently in development, is facing challenges related to the plastic switch, which is delaying its launch.
