So you know little about apples and are also under 30 years of age?
Pink Ladies are B/A tier (not as shelf stable as many newer breeds and lack the intensity of a jazz, snapdragon, or cosmic crisp)
Red Delicious WERE S tier but breeding in the 80s for a larger more aesthetically pleasing apple deprived it if the bands of green and red that "marred" the surface. Those genes that made those colors contributed the apple flavor. If you can find an old cultivar of Red Delicious you'll understand why the variety was called that.
Making me miss the red delicious tree that grew by my house growing up. They were my favorite apples back in the day but the ones at the grocery store disappoint.
