Apple is always have it off to take chances with new and honest-to-goodness material in its product line of reasoning . Continuing those on-going experimentation , Bloomberg reportsthat Apple working on the next Watch SE with a rigid plastic casing instead of an aluminium outside . That ’s mostly to turn down costs and launch an affordable Apple Watch or another variant just for the kids .
The benefit of 3-D printing is that it has made prototyping light for several product companies . Apple is possibly doing the same with the Apple Watch , but it expire further . The company is reportedly considering the idea of a 3D - printed chassis for the Apple Watch , which could be more likely for the SE model . The idea is to speed up the Apple Watch production by using less metallic element and helping the environs . That aligns with Apple ’s overarching strategy to be more surround - friendly .
The current Watch SE models sport a redesigned character with nylon composite material . It ’s quite likely that Apple is considering get the entire Watch SE with a standardized material .
Besides that , the popularity of the sub-$199 smartwatches might be irking Apple , especially from its arch - competitor . Samsung ’s bag Galaxy Watchcosts around $ 199 , while Apple ’s nucleotide Watch variance cost $ 249 . Also , catch that price - competitive reward against the upcoming Pixel Watch 3 could benefit Apple .
It ’s not the first metre Apple has used charge card for its products . A 10 ago , theiPhone 5Carrived in a credit card chassis and bright colors . But in that attempt , Apple did n’t give a price cut to that iPhone and thwarted the dream of a ‘ tacky / low-priced iPhone ’ forever .
If we take that leaf from Apple ’s Cartesian product history , a similar take might happen for the next Apple Watch SE , which is a relatively low-priced or meanspirited variant .
