Are these burn spots or a form of a disease ?

Question

Hello, I live in The San Fernando Valley,Southern California in an area where summer temperatures reach the high 90’s-110. My future persimmons are almost ready to be picked,but I’m noticing some discoloring on the fruit. Is this a reason for concern?
