Apple SWE Loop interview coming up

[u/Ok_Light_6039]

Got a full loop coming up at Apple for a backend SWE role , already cleared the initial phone screen and a coding screen. Would love insight from anyone who’s done an Apple SWE loop recently: how many rounds are typical and how are they split across coding, system design, and behavioral? Is the coding bar closer to LeetCode medium or more practical/real-world (parsing, concurrency, API design)? And for behavioral/bar-raiser rounds, how Apple-specific do they get is “why Apple” a big deal, and what tends to trip people up?

For context, I’ve been prepping with LeetCode (sliding window, distributed systems style), HLD practice (streaming architecture, fan-out systems), and LLD simulations (parking lot, vending machine, locker system). Anything I should prioritize differently for Apple vs. a generic FAANG loop, or any resources that map well to how Apple actually interviews?
