Aphantasia is not actually a real condition btw, the whole "imagine an apple" discourse is completely lacking in rigor. It's like the online ADHD discourse, or MENSA. It's a way for boring people to talk about themselves to each other. (Like most of Reddit and Wikipedia.)
We got a no-apple-seer over here
No, everyone can imagine an apple. This is stupid. Even this guy admitted he can remember things, he's just not satisfied with the quality. A cup of coffee would make him see an apple.
Imagining does not equal having a mental image. I see nothing when I close my eyes, even if I try to picture my child.
