Where this comes from

Sources differ

Thin. Apple publishes no structure and each team runs its own loop (Aced: four to seven rounds, all inside the team you applied to). GeeksforGeeks and Aced agree on technical screens, technical interviews and a final behavioural or hiring-manager interview, with system design mainly for experienced candidates. US-facing sources.

Practise for Apple

How a run works

Rounds open in order: each one once the round before it is sat. No cut-off is applied — no company publishes one — so the scores sit side by side at the end.
The online test is the company's placement test pattern, proctored like any sitting. A sitting started before the round opened is not counted.
Each interview round is a mock interview with the AI interviewer, briefed on the company and the round. It counts toward your weekly interview allowance like any other, and its answers feed your skill profile and readiness.
Technical and coding rounds are written, with the editor. The HR and managerial rounds are held the way you chose when you started: written, or spoken for 10 minutes.
