Fictional practice, not an employer interview question.
Original exercise, not a reported employer question. A proposed interaction looks simpler in a presentation but becomes harder to use in an accessibility or edge-case scenario. Prepare a design or engineering recommendation.

A defensible response
Define the task and the conditions in which the simplified interaction fails. Separate a visual preference from evidence about successful use. Compare the proposed design with the current one using representative tasks, including the affected edge case, and identify which constraints are non-negotiable. Propose the smallest change that preserves clarity without hiding necessary information or control. Explain how engineering and design would verify the result together and what remains uncertain. A strong portfolio presentation should show why an alternative was rejected and how the final choice was tested. It should not imply that a polished screen proves a better experience.
Check your answer
Which condition exposes the weakness in the attractive design? What evidence supports the tradeoff you recommend?
Prepare your application
For Apple, select evidence of the exact craft in the vacancy and explain the customer consequence of your decisions. A portfolio should reveal constraints, rejected alternatives, testing, and collaboration rather than finished work alone. Keep confidential material protected, distinguish your contribution from the team's, and confirm the assessment format for the specific role.
