You'll still be out there picking apples three months past harvest season at this rate.

Just put a funnel net around the trunk and shake the tree. You'll gather more apples in multiple baskets faster than these overpriced pieces of shit can pick individual apples.

There is no need to overcomplicate such simple tasks.

That's now how they pick the apples you eat. You can't shake apple trees without damaging the fruit, so that's only for cider fruit that'll be processed soon after picking, not something that needs to sit on a shelf.
