INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Watch SE this year, alongside the iPhone 16 and Apple Watch Series 10
Apart from the all-plastic body, the third-generation Apple Watch SE could feature a new processor
As per the report, this affordable Apple Watch model could be powered by the S9 chip that debuted last year with the Apple Watch Series 9
However, Apple could surprise by powering the Watch SE 2024 with S10 chip, which would make its debut on the next-generation Apple Watch
This could be possible as a shift from an aluminium casing to plastic will significantly reduce the manufacturing cost.
The report stated
that a reduced manufacturing cost could also allow Apple to pack more functionality and features into the next generation Apple Watch SE
such as always-on display and electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring
Both of these features are not available on the current generation Apple Watch SE.
Alternatively, Apple could reduce the price of the
Apple Watch SE and keep the set of features on the device relatively similar to that of the predecessor
This would make the Apple Watch accessible to more customers.First Published: Aug 06 2024 | 3:43 PMIST
