Apple Watch 6 launches along with the cheaper new Apple Watch "SE"

It is very likely that an inexpensive Apple Watch SE will be released along with the Apple Watch 6 this fall.

We have already heard rumors of a less expensive Apple Watch on the horizon. However, sources familiar with Apple's fall launch plans told Bloomberg that a cheaper version of the Apple Watch will appear along with a successor to the Apple Watch Series 5.

The Apple Watch SE (as it is called for now) will be available only in an aluminum model and is expected to feature the new S6 and W4 chips expected in the Apple Watch 6, 16GB of storage capacity and Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity. optical sensors, while the Apple Watch SE is said to retain the Digital Crown that has been used since the inception of the Apple Watch.

While the Apple Watch 6 will be a premium smartwatch designed to be in line with the iPhone 12 series, the Apple Watch SE is likely to be targeted as a complement to the new iPhone SE. And it could be positioned as a smartwatch to compete with fitness-centric wearables like Fitbit and Garmin.

Apple is also expected to release a more budget-oriented device this fall, a smaller, less expensive HomePod with fewer speakers than the £299/$299 Apple HomePod.

Bloomberg also reports that Apple will release the iPad Air 4 this fall, and the tablet will feature the iPad Pro 2020 edge-to-edge display design. There is also mention of an Apple TV device with improved gaming capabilities and an upgraded remote control, which is expected to arrive next year.

It is not yet clear when exactly all these devices will be released. We expect the iPhone 12 series to debut in September or October, and the Apple Watch 6 will likely be announced alongside it. Therefore, Apple could unveil the above devices in one big showcase or spread them out in the fall.
