Bike ≠ Car ≠ Ped.
English threaded. That model in particular comes with a Sram GXP.

Well, Italian-threaded BBs are definitely not the norm -- I don't think that Specialized sells any bike equipped as such.
Also, BB30 is renamed by Specialized as "OSBB" (Oversize Bottom Bracket), which isn't on the lower-spec bikes like your Apex-equipped bike.
Specialized is a mainstream manufacturer that isn't going to futz around too much with a bunch of BB standards. So, if it's not OSBB/BB30, it's plain ol' English thread.
