Would have to be a branch that was spliced, and wouldn't be 150 years old, apple trees don't live that long.

I raise you one Apple tree estimated to be around 370 years old:

But yes, most Apple trees seem to stop bearing fruit around 50 years of age max and rarely live beyond 90-100 years as far as I can tell.

Graft would still produce genetically identical apples.
