The article mentioned that thicker skins on the apples make them less palatable when the interior is soggy/grainy textured.

Personally, I like thicker skins but only on Jazz apples, which are tart and sweet. Red delicious are inferior in that the thick skin indeed covers an undesirable mouthful of mush.

Jazz apples are the only apples I buy anymore. They're a bit hard, but they're also the only apple that I actually have to stop myself from eating too many of. It's a shame that they can be harder to find than Fujis and Honeycrisps, which I find a lot more boring (but still miles better than the Red Delicious), but I think they're becoming a bit more common over time.
