Apple iOS interview

Apple interviews are known for depth on the platform itself and for varying a lot by team. Preparing for Apple means going deep, not just broad.

What tends to come up

Expect strong emphasis on core Swift and iOS fundamentals: concurrency with async/await and actors, memory management, the type system, and framework knowledge, often with practical coding rather than abstract puzzles. Because teams differ widely, the exact loop and focus depend on the specific team you interview with, so learn what that team builds.

How to prepare

Go deep on Swift language mechanics and the frameworks relevant to the team, and be ready to explain not just what you would do but why at a detailed level. Practice practical, hands-on coding and clear communication. Research the team's product area so you can connect your experience to their work, which matters more at Apple than a generic plan.
