Apple ICT2 Loop
Coding and a close read of your projects carry the ICT2 decision. Loops for the same title differ by team: some add a light design or behavioral round, and others are coding only.

What the ICT2 Loop Weighs
- Know every project on your resume well enough to defend each decision.
- Narrate your reasoning while you code, since silence reads poorly in these rounds.
- Ask your recruiter whether the loop includes design or behavioral rounds, since teams differ.
- Prepare a specific answer to why this team and why Apple.
