Apple Watch SE 3rd generation with colourful plastic cases could launch in 2025: Key details

Apple Watch SE 3rd-generation

Cupertino-based tech giant Apple recently announced its w Watch Series 10 models along with a new colour option for the Watch Ultra 2 at its ‘Glowtime’ event. However, many Apple fans were disappointed after no successor of the Watch SE 3 was announced at the event. Thankfully, this absence does not necessarily indicate a cancelation of the project.

According to a new report by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple still remains in the development of the Watch SE 3rd generation, and it could be launched in 2025. The report further adds that it will be more affordable than the existing 2022 Watch SE model and will have a plastic body with different colour options.

Gurman also mentioned that this change could potentially make this wearable more appealing to children or parents looking to purchase an Apple Watch for their kids. Further, it is expected to feature an upgraded processor, possibly the S10 chipset, which was introduced with the next-generation Apple Watch Series 10.

The move also makes sense as many schools in the US and elsewhere are increasingly banning smartphones, which will make the upcoming Apple Watch SE smartwatch (with cellular connectivity) a worthy alternative for children to stay connected while adhering to school policies.

The shift to manufacturing a plastic case has also posed some problems related to quality, but all of this is expected to move at a faster pace once Apple completes the transition to a titanium body with its current Watch Series 10 devices.
