Apple has removed the Apple Watch SE 3 from its online store just before its 9 September event, with every configuration listed as unavailable in the US and other markets checked by MacRumors. That does not confirm a new model, but it gives the Apple Watch SE 4 rumour a more convenient backdrop than it had yesterday.
Apple’s event starts at 9:00 PM UAE time on 9 September — follow our live blog for every announcement, and see our iPhone 18 UAE price guide for what to expect on the phone side.
Apple Watch SE 4 is still unconfirmed
Apple is holding its event on Wednesday, 9 September, after flagging the date in its official event announcement. MacRumors says an Apple Watch SE 4 was not expected because Apple has not released SE generations in back-to-back years: the first model arrived in 2020, the SE 2 in 2022 and the SE 3 in 2025.
The store listing could be a routine stock or storefront issue. It could also mean Apple is clearing the existing model before a replacement. There is no official announcement, specification or price for an Apple Watch SE 4, and Apple has not said that one will appear at the event.
Apple introduced the Apple Watch SE 3 in 2025 with an Always-On display, fast charging and the S10 chip. The company listed the starting price as $249 in the US, while UAE availability was included in the launch markets. That US price is not a UAE price, and no UAE figure for a possible successor has been published.
What UAE buyers can expect
The UAE was among the markets listed for Apple Watch SE 3 availability, but the current store disappearance does not establish whether local stock is affected. UAE buyers will need to wait for Apple’s event and the regional store to confirm whether a new model appears, when it ships and what it costs.
For background, see our Apple Watch SE 3 review and Apple Watch buying guide for the UAE.
For now, the Apple Watch SE 4 remains a possibility rather than a confirmed product. Apple’s event starts tomorrow, which should settle whether the empty product page is a clue or simply an untidy bit of retail housekeeping.
Why is Apple Watch SE 3 unavailable?
Apple has not explained the disappearance. It may be a temporary stock or storefront issue, or a sign that the existing model is being cleared.
Will Apple announce Apple Watch SE 4?
It is possible but unconfirmed. Apple has not announced an Apple Watch SE 4 or published specifications, pricing or a release date.
Was Apple Watch SE 3 available in the UAE?
Yes. Apple listed the UAE among the markets where Apple Watch SE 3 could be pre-ordered when it launched in 2025. A UAE price for a possible successor is not known.
