Short answer: Apple's main undergraduate internship postings are open now, and Apple says it accepts applications on an ongoing basis. Its broad postings, such as Software Undergrad Engineering Internships, were dated May 21 to 22, 2026 and do not name a year. On November 9, 2026, Apple's US careers site listed 25 internship postings.

How Apple internships work

Instead of a separate posting for every team, Apple keeps a few broad postings by area: software engineering, hardware engineering, machine learning and AI, engineering program management, and business, marketing and creative. You apply to the area, and teams look through the pool. One posting is labeled Summer 2027 by name: the Applied Data Solutions Program, posted August 27, 2026.

When to apply

Because the postings stay open, there is no deadline to race. But teams fill their spots through the fall, and third-party reports put most interviews and offers between October and December. Apply in the fall for the widest choice of teams.

What helps

  • A resume with projects that match the area you apply to.
  • One application per area that fits, rather than many near-copies.
  • A short note in your profile on the products or teams that interest you.

Last year, for comparison

In the SimplifyJobs public internship list, Apple's first Summer 2026 role appeared on July 8, 2025, and its first Summer 2027 role on August 24, 2026. The list leans toward software, data and finance roles, so read these as the earliest postings it caught, not official opening dates.
