Diseased Apple leaf? Help Identify Please

Is this leaf miners? Came out of an orchard in Northern Illinois.

If I zoom in I can see little black dots all around the leaf. I wonder if that is a clue.

Or could it be a nutrition deficiency? Or early stages of black spot?

Not leaf miners .
I think mites .
Get a magnifying glass, look under leaf’s .
High mite populations are usually cased by spraying chemicals that kill their natural predators

Thanks Hillbilly, the leaf is from a friends commercial orchard. So your analysis could very well be correct.
