How are you measuring your pH? That seems high to me.

I thought the same thing, but answer the PO's question it appears it should be around 3.5.

I think I use very more water for dilute my juice because my sugar packet drop down to juice and I use water for find 1.080 SG so I think my pH is going to High

the pH does not reflect normal/ good commercial apple juice. If I saw that pH I would question age/ spoilage. Apple pH changes with age and specific varieties are different. A reference with last year’s Macintosh
sep week 1: SpG 1.048 , , , pH 3.25 , , , TA 0.92%
Nov , , , , , , , SpG 1.046 , , , pH 4.21 , , , TA 0.32%

Did you calibrate the meter before using?

yeah, but I think, I added more water .
you know my packet sugar drop off to gallons and so for SG balance, I added water ..
I messed up.
