Just want advice on how to get in. I know its top tier, super competitive, super hard to even get an interview even with referrals. But if you could teach us all one thing or advice on what to work on maybe for side projects or skills to improve on to have a higher chance at being seen, that would be awesome.

Recruiting at Apple is very unique - in the sense that there really isn’t any documented process. Every team there has different processes and standards for hiring. General pattern I see is that they typically favor ex-agency designers; especially from the likes of Instrument, just as a broad example. Big agency names, working with massive brands. Very high bar for craft, storytelling, and advanced prototyping. Designers that can code are also highly valued. Lots of top Apple designers are actually closer to being design engineers or creative technologists.

If I were looking to work at any specific company I’d start by looking at the profiles of LinkedIn of people who have the job I want there. How do you currently stack up to where they were when they got the job? Look at where they went to school, where they worked before (company domain and location may matter) and what they did there. That will start to answer a lot of your questions.

May 3, 2019 - While Ive didn't run the team until Brunner left in 1996, he was responsible for hiring new designers onto the group. Some of those he hired included Christopher Stringer in 1995 who worked on PowerBooks amongst much else, and Richard Howarth too, at around the same time. Howarth would later temporarily replace Ive during the Apple Park construction, while Stringer left in 2016.

As a designer you're focused on creating delightful interfaces and experiences. As an engineer you're focused on making sure you code works and nothing breaks. As a result the process becomes slow and everyone feels frustrated. It's friction we don't need. In the next 10 minutes we're going to look at four things that will really help make difference.

I went through the full interview process and was offered a product design job for Apple Mail App team for iOS. I turned it down because at the time I did not want to move my family to Cupertino. I always knew I didn't want to move, but it was Apple and felt like I had to at least follow through with the interviews. I never applied for the job, but a recruiter at Apple reached out to me. After I turned down the offer, she asked if I was interested in a role on another team. The interviews were surprisingly not too stressful. It began with a couple phone calls with the recruiter. Then a video interview. Then a design test and a follow up video interview. Then two on-site interviews with the product team and various other people from the leadership group. Then one final on-site interview (not normally needed, but I guess one guy I interviewed with didn't like me. He was a total arrogant punk btw). I can tell you they highly value humility and working well with others. At the time I remember feeling very intimidated by the high-level talent around me. I mentioned this to the point person I'd been talking to. She said "what you don't know, you'll learn. But we can't teach you to not have an ego. We prefer people who can grow over talent with egos." That always stood out to me. All that said, I have three friends who work(ed) at Apple. (One worked for the Apple Arcade, one for the motion design team, one is a software engineer).Two have quit because they said their depts were so cut throat and heavy hours they couldn't deal with it anymore. One of them (the engineer) is still there and is happy. So sounds like the dept / team you're on impacts how your daily life there is. Good luck to you! If it's your dream, keep at it

A bit of luck. Ideally you worked for a big known company as your most recent experience and a recruiter stumbles across your linkedin with an opportunity

Most probably trying to find the optimal way to get those clean lines. Deciding ways to manufacture in a consistently way. Selecting materials, glue, screws and ways to fulfill the wishes of invisible fasteners but still being able to produce them in automated factories. Perhaps fighting for their ideas to get one mm more space for a nice curve, but management promised maximum 49 mm last year. Edit: in my opinion it is harder to make a simple looking design that still fulfills all other demands to.

In all seriousness, from what I understand Apple's ID group spends more time in the factory figuring out how to make impossible things more than any other design team I know of. And they adopted that approach about twenty years ago. They are chasing perfection, and it has led them down a craftsmanship rabbit hole. But it's a winning strategy for them, and no one has come chasing. Who else is milling consumer-grade products from solid blocks of alloy? I am still dumbfounded by how they managed to fit the electronics into the second-gen Apple TV remote considering there are no thru-holes. I'm also guessing that their cutting-room-floor is substantial. I bet they take a lot of unrealized concepts to a pretty far stage. More than other companies would tolerate. They're highly curated. I think they also have a pretty small team for the number of projects they're working on. Here is a rare photo of them.
