Default Pruning Bramley's?

As Bramley's are supposed to be tip bearing, how the devil do you prune
them.

Answer urgently required as all my apple trees are getting out of hand,
and I need to do something now!

I have no idea, but pruned my Bramley the year before last, the usual way I
prune apple trees ( i.e. chopping back all the long branches ) and had a
rubbish crop later that year.

Perhaps you only prune back 1/3 of the branches per year?
