A Call Option Strike Price is the price at which the holder of the call option can exercise, or buy, the underlying stock.

This means that you would have the right to buy 100 shares of Apple stock at $610 between now and the third Friday in July. So if Apple stock is suddenly at $620, you could exercise your option and buy 100 shares of Apple stock at the call option strike price of $610.
