Ethylene is a chemical that acts as a plant hormone, ripening fruits exposed to it. Apples however, seem to also produce/emit ethylene, hastening the ripening process. Putting ripe apples in a container with unripe fruit does in fact help ripen the rest of the fruit.

Yeah, I’ve been told the paper bag helps that it still gets some oxygen, making it “ripen” more and rot less
I think it might be more about humidity not being trapped with the fruits.
