Apple Maps product question, pretty classic PM interview territory. Not much context on how the full loop went but this question alone gave me enough to stress about for a week.
  • How would you improve Apple Maps?

“I went straight into features and the interviewer just kind of waited.”

Apple product sense interview with a single maps-related question. Pretty light on detail but the core prompt was interesting enough to think about.
  • How would you design a restaurant recommendation feature for Google Maps?

“Framed it around user intent first, which felt right.”

Apple PM interview with one strategy question about the trade war and its impact on the business. Not a lot of context to go on but it's the kind of question that can spiral fast if you're not careful about scoping.
  • How does the US-China trade war impact Apple as a business?

“This one is deceptively broad.”

Apple PM interview, just the one question about a hard product problem. Pretty open-ended and I wasn't totally sure how deep they wanted me to go.
  • Tell me about a challenging product problem you encountered and how you resolved it.

“I picked a story I'd told before but fumbled the middle part where I had to explain the actual decision-making.”

Got a classic estimation question at Apple, the kind where there's no right answer but they're clearly watching how you think out loud.
  • Estimate the total weight of the Empire State Building.

“I froze for a second because my first instinct was to think about the steel frame, but then I realized I had no idea how to anchor that number.”

Apple PM interview with a single product design question about improving the Apple Watch. Short and focused, but don't let the simplicity fool you.
  • How would you improve the Apple Watch?

“Classic Apple product question and I still fumbled the opening.”

Apple product sense question, pretty classic setup but it can go sideways fast if you just ramble about features without a real framework.
  • What is your favorite Apple product and why, and how would you improve it?

“I picked AirPods because I actually use them every day, which felt safer than picking something I'd have to fake enthusiasm for.”

Got a pricing case question for what seemed like a product management role at Apple. Pretty short interview from what I can tell, just the one question but it had some real depth to it.
  • How would you set the price for a mid-range phone that has premium camera capabilities but costs more to manufacture?

“The cost angle is a bit of a red herring and I almost fell into it.”

Jun 2026
Went through a PM interview at Apple and got hit with a behavioral question about self-teaching. Pretty standard stuff but it made me realize I hadn't prepped a crisp story for it.
  • Tell me about a time you taught yourself a new skill.

“I had a story ready but it came out kind of rambling.”

Apple PM interview, just the one question about improving Apple Music. Short session, product sense focus, not much else to report.
  • How would you improve Apple Music?

“Classic product improvement question but Apple asking it about their own product adds a weird pressure.”
