Apple could soon debut three new iPad models along with the new Apple Watch Series 6, according to reports. These devices were earlier rumored to launch sometime in September 2020. A recent listing at the EEC database triggered speculations that Apple might launch the Apple Watch Series 6 and three new iPad models next month.

Several model listings were recently spotted in the database of Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC). The EEC gives formal and official consent to products for sale in Russia and its surrounding regions. The appearance of these Apple products in the EEC's database reportedly indicates that they are due for release.

Spotted at the certifying body's database are model numbers A2291, A2292, A2351, A2352, A2375, A2376, A2355, A2356. According to rumors, these model numbers relate to the much-awaited Apple Watch Series 6. Model numbers A2270, A2072, A2316, A2324, A2325, A2428, A2429 are also discovered in the database, which are reportedly models of the iPad.

The multiple Apple Watch models could indicate various sizes, colors, and LTE capabilities. Meanwhile, the iPad model numbers reportedly signify the standard iPad, the upgraded iPad Air, and probably the new iPad Mini. These products are believed to arrive in the market before the year ends.

While the EEC listing could indicate an imminent release, there is no timeframe for the products' final release. But, based on previous filings, there might be a useful pattern that we could draw from to speculate on the possible launch window. For instance, a similar listing for new iPads in July 2019 was followed by their release in September.

An August listing of Apple Watch Series 6 and three new iPad models at the EEC database could mean a potential release in September or October 2020. Earlier, Apple confirmed that the regular iPhone launch would be delayed for a few weeks. Industry insider Jon Prosser earlier revealed that the Apple Watch Series 6, along with the new iPad, might launch via a press release in the week starting September 7.

If Prosser's information is accurate, it is unusual for Apple to unveil the Apple Watch Series 6 ahead of the iPhone 12. In the past, these two products were always launched side by side. Also, it is worth mentioning that all Apple products are required to be listed on the EEC database prior to their release. But, a listing does not guarantee that they are arriving. Since Apple has not yet confirmed this potential arrival of the Apple Watch Series 6 and the three new iPad models, it is smarter to take this with a pinch of salt.
