If we use binary instead of base 10 to count them then there wouldnt be 4 of them (I am sure some clever person on here can tell me what 4 is in binary!).
Whats binary for infinity?

Binary for 4: 100.
Binary for Infinity ......1111111111111........
If you use binary to count the apples, there are still four of them.
You are just notating it differently. It's just liek saying that if a person in spanish count the apples there are not 4 of then, but quatro. It's just in a different language.
And how do you know that the apples are not aware that there are 4 of them in a room? Can you speak to apples? Can you read apple minds?
