In addition to them being soft when you press them, they may have dents where there is a soft place. This is often a bruise. If you cut it out then you can use the rest of the apple without a problem. At least you can if your nose doesn't tell you the apple is beyond its prime. There is a rotten apple smell that is quite noticeable once you know how to recognize it. If the apples have no odor at all they might be flavorless and although they may seem ok, it is good to ask somebody how they look as well. I love apples best right from the orchard or from the trees in the local neighborhoods. But, sigh, I don't get many like that these days.
