Apple has reportedly scrapped plans to produce the Apple Watch SE with plastic materials following backlash from consumers. Initial rumors suggested a shift to plastic to reduce production costs, similar to the controversial iPhone 5C. However, the latest reports indicate that Apple will continue using aluminum for the budget smartwatch. The Apple Watch SE is expected to retail at around $249, consistent with previous releases. As of now, Apple has not confirmed these updates, leaving consumers curious about the future materials of its smartwatch lineup.
