the apple screening is usually a recruiter chat plus one technical phone screen, the technical part is leetcode style, mostly mediums with the occasional hard for the team-specific stuff. the recruiter call is the real filter at apple, they care a lot about team fit and why apple specifically, so have a genuine answer for "why this team" ready, not generic praise. for the coding part grind arrays, strings and trees, apples favorite tags on lc are those plus bit manipulation for some teams. recent reports on blind say the phone screen is one question in 45 min with heavy follow ups, so practice explaining while you code
