Apple new grad recruiting seems confusing.

With the way Apple recruiting works, my speculation is not all jobs are out at once. Also just looking at the website those jobs don’t seem to specifically say new grad. A referrer has to refer all jobs at once - which is weird if not all jobs are out yet. Candidates might miss other jobs if they applied early, and will miss early jobs if they applied too late.

Each post is a specific position at a specific team. Even the interview process is team-specific. Each team can have different process and format.
So basically you are starting from team matching step.
On the other hand you can apply as many as you want and even if you didn't get offer there is no "cooling" period for applying for other positions
However, IMO, unless you have a close referral, like a member of the team or someone who personally knows a member of the team, I guess a generic referral is not strong enough.
