The Apple Watch SE 2024 is rumored to be part of the company’s Watch Series 10 lineup later this year. A new report claims that the watch may be aimed at children and that the Cupertino-based tech giant may be making changes to make it more appealing to that demographic. One of them is that it offers more color options than the standard Apple Watch series. It is also reported that this smartwatch has a hard plastic case.
According to reports, the Apple Watch SE 2024 is designed for children
According to Bloomberg’s Mark Garmin (via The Verge), Apple is developing a new SE model of its smartwatch that could be designed for children. The company says it could “enable a better color palette” to make it more appealing to children. This development is notable because the company generally takes a conservative approach to the color options of its smartwatches.
The Apple Watch Series 9 was released in Midnight, Starlight, Silver, (Product) Red and Pink colors. The Black (Midnight) and Silver options have been available for several years, and Red (Product) also regularly appears in the tech giant’s smartwatch range. The only new product was pink. However, according to reports, the company appears to be abandoning this approach for the new SE model.
Previous reports claimed that the expected Apple Watch SE in 2024 might also ditch the aluminum casing and be made of hard plastic. This move is intended to allow the company to reduce the manufacturing cost of the device and make it more affordable for consumers.
Not much is known about the third generation Apple Watch SE model. However, previous reports also claimed that the Apple Watch Series 10 could come with a larger display and the same processor as the Apple Watch Ultra 3.
Apple’s smartwatches will reportedly not support Apple’s smart features this year. These will initially be available for supported iPhone, iPad and Mac devices. However, the new chipset used in this year’s Apple Watch series is said to “lay the foundation for the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities in the future.”
