So i had 2nd interview with manager and I got the rejection letter 2~3 days after and kinda confused. not sure why i remain calm and collective throughout the entire interview and was honest with all my answers making sure no negativity was thrown around in my answers as to not look down on other people at all. questions that were thrown out were stuff like past history work, how was the group interview, why apple?

i always made mention to everyone else around me noting that everyone was nice to talk to and i was getting excited being around people. and always made direct notice back to customer satisfaction/service given apple's core value revolves around this yet i still got rejected.

is it wise to reply to the rejection email asking for a 2nd chance or just leave it. i've seen some people saying they got another callback despite being rejected and sending a reply not sure hw accurate it is but anyone has experience on this?

why apple?
It happens, and its actually quite common, regardless of the company you're interviewing for. You may think you smoked the interview, but the hiring manager, or HR may have liked someone else, or some other factor.

just leave it.
Leave it you're done, They made their decision and they've already moved on, you should too at this point.

Dont ask for a second chance, but consider calling the manager and asking what would have made your candidacy more attractive - maybe you said some things that hurt your chances, and manager might tell you. (Or could say "lots of good candidates, tough choices, really competitive blah blah")
