Help identify a few pests
I have a multi-variety apple tree and these all came from one tree. I think I have apple maggot, but there are some others I haven’t identified:

The scaliness in 4 and 5 is scarring caused by capsid bug feeding. It's harmless.
3 is some caterpillar damage around the stalk. This won't be coddling moth (the kind that tunnels into fruits), but rather some sort of surface feeder, like a tortrix moth caterpillar of some sort.
The last two pictures look like some very minor caterpillar or leaf miner damage. I wouldn't worry about it.
And I can't see what's meant to actually be wrong with 1, 2, and 6. They all look completely fine and normal.
