apple-picking

Autumn orchard activity

Apple-picking is the autumn activity of harvesting apples, often at orchards that invite visitors to pick their own fruit: We went apple-picking last weekend.

The outing has become a seasonal ritual, associated with hayrides, cider, and Instagram photos.

In cybersecurity, apple-picking refers to stealing iPhones or other Apple devices from distracted users in public.
