Apple Sr Software Engineer interview questions

I was contacted by recruiter and then phone screen by manager. Few days later recruiter told me manager was showing interest so scheduled on site. On site is 1:1 with 8 people. Mostly asking about my previous projects and designs as this role requires a specific in depth hands on experience in this domain. They also asked questions on multi threading and few coding questions. It was not that difficult. I could able to answer all of them. If you are attending interviews with other tech companies like Google, Facebook etc.. then this is not that hard. What I felt was repetition, need to explain same stuff over and over to many people. However I could able to meet few wonderful persons. But at the end I didn't meet the director, which is a sign of rejection I guess. After a week I got a message from recruiter they are not proceeding with my application. It's a surprise to me as I've more experience than this role requires and answered all questions to the best of the my knowledge. Perhaps they are looking for less experience candidates not a technical leader.
