I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Cary, NC) in May 2023
Interview
There were 3 rounds. First was a behavioral interview with the hiring manager. Then a question & answer/“trivia” technical round with another manager in the org. The last round was 2 system design interviews, 2 coding interviews, and another interview with the hiring manager.

Question 1
System Design: how would you design a “top songs” feature in a platform like Apple Music that would update each hour with the hottest/top/trending songs
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.
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
