Thanks for the discussion and providing insights/tips into the Apple Interview process. I will try to use these learnings in my next interviews. Its a really useful platform to connect with people in a similar role at a company that one is interviewing for and helps to understand what such companies look for in the candidates. The cost is on the higher side for a single session.
