"Apple" is a generic name, that does not actually really express anything particularly specific.

Eating apple, cooking apple, cider apple, pig feed?

Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Red Delicious? All apples, wildly different, all common. Even within the more commercially available variants there are significant differences: https://www.jessicagavin.com/types-of-apples/

Heck, just for cooking apples there are huge number of different varieties: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooking_apple

Yea, "apple" as an idea doesn't really express anything concrete without lots more context.

And without more context, Apple may even mean something that isn't even a fruit, but still popular: www.apple.com
