Apple Watch SE 2024 could be made for kids and come in multiple colors
Rumors have been circulating that the Apple Watch SE 2024 will join the company’s Watch Series 10 lineup later this year. A new report now claims that the watch could be targeted at kids, with the Cupertino-based tech giant potentially making several changes to make it more appealing to the target audience. One of these is said to be the addition of a wider variety of color options than what’s seen on the standard Apple Watch series. The smartwatch is also reported to feature a rigid plastic body.
Apple Watch SE 2024 reportedly aimed at kids
According to a report by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman (through (The Verge) Apple is working on a new SE smartwatch model, and it could be designed for kids. To make it more kid-friendly, the company could “offer a better color palette.” The development is notable given that the company generally takes a conservative approach to the color options for its smartwatches.
The Apple Watch Series 9 launched in Midnight, Starlight, Silver, (Product) Red, and Pink colors. The black (Midnight) and Silver options have been available for a few years now, with the (Product) Red color variant also making a regular appearance in the tech giant’s smartwatch lineup. The only new offering was the Pink color. However, according to the report, it appears the company is ditching that approach for the new SE model.
Earlier, a report had claimed that the speculated Apple Watch SE 2024 could also feature a rigid plastic build, ditching the aluminum chassis. The move would allow the company to reduce the device’s manufacturing costs and make it affordable for consumers.
Not much more is known about the speculated third-generation Apple Watch SE model. However, the previous report also claimed that the Apple Watch Series 10 could feature larger displays and come equipped with the same processor that will power the Apple Watch Ultra 3.
This year’s Apple smartwatches will reportedly not support Apple Intelligence features, which are first expected to arrive on supported iPhone, iPad, and Mac devices. However, the new chipset powering this year’s Apple Watch lineup is said to “lay the foundation” for introducing artificial intelligence (AI) features in the future.
