The apple test is very poorly communicated. The middle of the spectrum isn't a greyscale/washed out image, it's an image where the details only exist if you actively focus on them. Obviously that's very difficult to communicate with a real image, but I think the test leads people to conclude they have aphantasia when they're really in the middle.
