Apple performance review - hike/promotion

It's been a year since I joined Apple (SEG org). I think I was low-balled but I did not have an option when I accepted the role. (YOE 6, ICT3, TC 168K base-130 rsu-72/4years joining-20). I'm having my first performance review and I want to know what are my chances of getting a significant hike/refresher. (Not bragging) I'm more skilled than my team members and I have done exceptionally well in the past year. I have worked my a** off and I'm expecting a great review feedback but I'm not confident about promotion/hike as there are other members in similar level in my team. What should I do ?

Strange that people advice you to negotiate with empty hand! What is your exit option then?! While you don’t still have another offer, it would be an icredible strategy in a negotiation game and your manager knows that you have no option but to stay with the same salary! Unless you believe these monsters have fairness!

Im in a similar situation. Did you end up talking to your manager about it?

I'm also in very similar boat, is it possible to negotiate promotion and RSU/salary hike with manager ? If so when is the best time to talk ? I feel if talked during performance review they would have finalized the hike and other stuff and it would be too late or still manager has power to pull strings ? Anyone has any experience in negotiating with manager
