Not on apple, but I remember for an old job interview I had to do an online timed basic math proficiency test. You were allowed/expected to use a calculator.

Thank god they had practice questions. Because here was silly old me thinking "well I've got a smart phone, I can just use that".

One iteration through the practice questions using my smartphone calculator, and off I went to the newsagent to pick up the old version for the real thing...

Of course,the rant for why they were testing me on manually-done math for a data analytics job can be saved for another thread :)
