Apple could change the materials of the Apple Watch SE 3 to make it a perfect option for children
It is not recommended that the youngest members of the household have an iPhone until a certain age. And perhaps for that reason, an Apple Watch is perfect for a child. It is a device that allows us to communicate with them without many of the dangers of an iPhonebeing limited in functions. And it seems that Apple wants to position the upcoming Apple Watch SE 3 in this way.
Although there are many interesting iPhones for children, experts do not recommend using them until the age of 12 or 13. In addition, setting up an iPhone for a child and activating parental controls is mandatory, a process that is easier on an Apple Watch.
The perfect iPhone for kids could be an Apple Watch
He Apple Watch SE has always been positioned as an affordable version of the high-end modelwith a less modern design and lower specifications, but with the same internal chip. But Apple wants to give this concept a twist that would make it the “perfect iPhone for younger children.”
The Apple Watch is a great option for a child, better than an iPhone at certain ages
After all, An Apple Watch can be used without an iPhone nearby, we can easily locate it and communicate with it in multiple wayswhether by calling, sending a message or with the walkie-talkie function. So it can be a perfect substitute for the iPhone at certain ages. And the Apple Watch SE 3 could be perfect for this thanks to its new features:
A plastic Apple Watch SE 3
Mark Gurman said it a few weeks ago: The Apple Watch SE 3 is very likely to be made of plasticWe don’t know if this will be a special version or if it will be the only material available. And this is interesting for children, as it gives a more youthful look and, probably, many color options.
A cheaper Apple Watch SE
Let it be made of plastic will make the Apple Watch SE 3 cheaper. Although Apple could improve the features while maintaining the price, I think the most sensible thing to do is to position it at a cheaper price. It currently starts at 279 euros, so if it falls below 200 euros it would be a very interesting option. Especially if we take into account that the model with cellular connection, ideal for a child, costs 50 euros more.
Enough power to last for years
The Apple Watch SE has always used the same chip as the most powerful Apple Watch of that year with the aim of making it last a long timeit is not a device that is updated every year. So it is to be expected that the Apple Watch SE 3 will have the S10 chip of the Apple Watch Series 10, although if it had the S9 it would also be a significant leap forward.
We don’t know exactly whether these changes are aimed at a new strategy and Apple will position the Apple Watch SE 3 as an option for children or if it will simply be an option more of the device. The more colorful design is likely to appeal to adults as well, though Apple may keep an aluminum option for those who prefer it, just as it does with the stainless steel Apple Watch.
