Why this template works
Apple's career ladder runs from Level 2 (entry) to Level 6 (Principal/Distinguished) for ICs, with a parallel management track. The Level 4 to 5 jump is notoriously selective, requiring sustained cross-functional impact.
Apple runs annual performance reviews typically in September/October, with promotion decisions finalized in the following months. Mid-year check-ins provide an opportunity to course-correct, but most promotions land in the annual cycle.
Apple's culture prizes craft excellence and attention to detail above all. Promotion cases must demonstrate not just impact, but the quality and polish of your work, your ability to innovate, and how you raise the bar for your team.
