New news suggests that Apple Watch with 3 is still in “active development” and introduces a new case.
According to the “Power On” newsletter, Mark Gurman in Bloomberg remains “the new Apple Watch with a plastic shell in development”, the company intends to reduce the price wearable with this more affordable material. Gurman also expects this new one to be equipped with a new chip, but did not say what the S10 chip, which is currently found in the Apple Watch Series 10, which will be available on Friday (September 20).
It was runned that Apple Watch with 3 would be announced at the Apple “IT is Glowtime” 9 September, but that was not reflected. Instead, Apple introduced Apple Watch Series 10 and introduced itself into a new satin black surface for the existing Apple Watch Ultra 2.
The current model has been available since 2022, but does not have an ECG to help measure your heart’s electrical activity, nor does it always have a screen. Plastic castes could reduce the price and introduce functions such as ECG at a more affordable price.
However, the current Apple Watch is still a great purchase, especially as a Christmas present for anyone in the wearers of Apple.
How much could the price per Apple Watch with 3 drop?
Apple Watch has always been placed as a cheaper model throughout the Watch line. It is an entrance point for anyone who wants to first explore the benefits of Apple Watch, especially because it can help with their health and fitness. It is a good price for $ 249 /219, but it is facing hard competition from wearable, such as Fitbit’s Versa 4, which included ECG’s heart rate and tracking sleep for $ 199.
Switching aluminum to plastic material could be a key step that would help reduce the price of Apple Watch with 3, potential below $ 199 – maybe even $ 149. If Apple could integrate ECG and watch sleep in this new model, this effort could make Apple Watch with 3 very tempting purchase for someone in the budget.
