Around 2 months after I submitted my resume for Apple software engineer position, I got a call from the hiring manager. He asked me what was the good day for the interview. It took half day for meeting 5 people. It was long hour interview for me. Each interviewer spent ~ 30 minutes and asked ~ 4 questions. Each interviewer asked questions in the different areas.

Question 1
They conducted five rounds in total, starting with a hiring manager round, followed by a panel interview. The panel included three LeetCode-style coding questions, one system design round, and one behavioral round. Each round also included behavioral questions alongside the main focus area.
The interview was easy, we talked about technical stuff in-depth: os, drivers. If they think you know something, they would ask you till they find where your knowledge ends. So be ready
