The apple giant is preparing to launch the Apple Watch SE 3, a new smartwatch that Bloomberg reports it will come with very important changesboth in the quality of the surface treatments and in the position on the market, which will certainly not leave anyone indifferent.

One of the most important changes will be the abandonment of the aluminum chassis in favor of a plastic chassis. This change would allow Apple to significantly lower the price of this new smartwatch, only in theory It could even go under $200.. Now you wonder if it would really be worth buying such a product with a plastic cover.

Using the apple company’s plastic chassis could better distinguish the Apple Watch SE 3 from the standard modelwhich has an aluminum chassis and could also position it as a product aimed at a different audience: children and adolescents.

The truth is that all this It reminds me a lot of the iPhone 5c, a smartphone that abandoned the aluminum chassis in favor of a more colorful and casual plastic chassis with the promise of being cheaper. Finally it was real failure and it makes sense because its price was ridiculously high. Charging €599 for a smartphone made of plastic in 2013 was too much, even for Apple.

Apple Watch SE 3: two versions?

Charge $200 which could happen in Spain 229 or 249 eurosfor a smartphone made of plastic I don’t think it’s a good idea at all.and I also don’t think it would be wise for Apple to eliminate the original concept of the Watch SE as an affordable smartwatch while maintaining a premium design, since that was one of its main appeals.

What could be right for Apple to diversify and open new markets is to launch a version of the Apple Watch SE 3 aimed at children and teenagers with the said plastic finish, but keeping the standard aluminum model for a more mature audience, although it has a higher price tag.

Spec-wise, both models should be identical, but the plastic-chassis version would be cheaper and should be available in bulk diversity of colors. This would appeal to a younger audience as it would allow them to choose the color that best suits their style. The brain of the Apple Watch SE 3 will be a Apple S9 SoC with a dual-core CPU, the same used by the Apple Watch Series 9, and will most likely retain 1GB of RAM.
