Apple Coding Interview: what to expect

I have a coding interview for Apple next month. It's for Siri team, software/ML. Leetcode Premium has surprisingly few Apple questions and most of them are bitwise type questions. This seems odd. What should I expect?

Each team has totally different interviews. But we try to make it a good experience. LeetCode is good but even more important is to brush up on fundamentals. So be sure you know your ML basics. If it’s a systems or backend role, be sure to also know how memory management works. I don’t work on Siri so idk any specifics, but good luck!

Focus on concurrency and multi threading. I got this and wasn’t expecting. Same team.

Agreed on this.

That's really unexpected. I might have to back out. I don't even know what position I'm interviewing for. It's some new team.

ML roles are going to have ML related questions. How do you measure precision, etc. probably a design, a problem solving question, algorithm, and some soft skills and experience questions. If they’re asking concurrency, you probably got a n00b substitute interviewer that likes to ask those questions.

Well, my noob interviewer was a staff engineer who moved from google.

Well if a staff dude is interviewing, they’re probably part of the team. Study concurrency. You solve one you solve them all. It’s not a hard problem.
