Apple and pear tree leaves look miserable.

I have a patio size pear and apple tree. I got them this year. The leaves on the apple tree have curled and gone brown. I sprayed because of aphids which I read can cause leaves to curl. The pear tree I also sprayed but some of the leaves have some brown on them. It's the first time I've tried these small trees. Should I wait for the winter so the leaves fall of and then cut it back and wait for better growth next year? I water well, have fed with appropriate feed and the size of the pots was what was showing in the advert. When we do have sun it hits that patch. :unsure:

Most stuff you spray for aphids makes the leaves curl. That’s perfectly normal. I would wait until the leaves fall and hard prune before spring arrives. A fall pruning would be ideal.
 
Thanks @Keesha Should I ever get apples or pears on the trees and life changes with this virus 'stuff' they'll be on the way to you. Might take a number of years though!!!! 🤗
