The multitude of model numbers can be explained by various storage configurations and also the split between GPS and Cellular-enabled Apple Watch models.
Not much is known about Apple Watch Series 6, which may include blood oxygen monitoring. There's also a chance that Apple may slim down the bezels of the upcoming new iPad Air or iPad. These filings usually come just a couple of weeks before product launch, so we don't have long to wait!
