JAKARTA - Apple Watch SE with a plastic design previously rumored to be due to release this year appears to be facing serious problems. According to Mark Gurman's latest report in the Power On bulletin, the project is now in a "threatened" condition for two main reasons: design and production costs.
Gurman revealed that Apple's design team did not like the appearance of the plastic casing. Meanwhile, the operational team faces difficulties in reducing production costs to make it cheaper significantly compared to the aluminum version currently in use.
