Hey, \
\
I would love to chime in here. I have interviewed for 2 contractor roles at apple and the interview varies depending on the team. Generally it was 2 rounds, 1 hour each and in each round you get 1 or 2 medium leetcode questions and some more specific questions related directly to the role. For a UI role I got some react questions map/filter/reduce operations on arrays. For a backend role I was asked Java/Spring Boot theoretical questions. \
As Alex and Rahul mentioned, the recruiter is the best resource and they will be able to share with you what types of questions you are likely to get.
