I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Apple (Hyderabad)
Interview
1. Tech 1 and Tech 2 will decide if you are eligible for Apple.
2. Other tech rounds will be project specific rounds.
In my case, after 7 tech rounds they realized that there is no project aligning with my skills and other than this 7 interviews, 3 times I got ghosted. Nobody joined the interview meeting and nobody replied and next day, HR will send a sorry note with future interviews.

Question 1
1. How to design a Applicant Tracking System?
2. How to design a messaging system with different failover scenarios.
3. Optimize factorial program
There were few more designing questions which I don't remember but those were not too hard.
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
