Weekly overview 30: Apple Watch with plastic casing, iPhone SE 4 rumors and more

In the Apple Watch product line, the SE version is a cheaper entry-level model. In order to further reduce the price, Apple is said to have plans to provide the Apple Watch SE with a plastic casing.

This makes the Apple Watch lighter and reduces costs so that this model can be promoted more advantageously compared to the more expensive models. In addition, there is a clearer separation between the Series models and the SE.
