Wilted apple leaves - Please I.D

Over the last 2-3 weeks I’ve started seeing this on my apples. At first I thought Fireblight but I am convinced it is not.

The entire fruit spur is affected but newer growth past the spur does not seem to be to be. Also, apple fruitlets show some sort of infection.

Please see the photos attached.

This whst the fruitlets look like, on those spurs that fruited.

I saw this as well on part of my Mott Pink and Enterprise apple. :sob:

Definitely fireblight. Telltale sign is the blossoms are still firmly attached.
