Yes - fruit juice that you buy in the store is typically pH balanced with ascorbic acid and heat pasteurised, which removes a lot of nutritional value. And in some cases an apple base is added to give sweetness (with lots of sugar).

There is a substantial difference in health value between a berry based smoothie you make at home and an apple juice from the store.
