I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Apple in Sep 2014
Interview
I was interview by a member of the Interactive design team for a position they had for a Interface developer / programmer.
The interviewer from the start informed me that this was not a technical interview but a more design based interview with another technical interview to come.
The questions were pretty standard with stress on the size of the team you had worked on before you applied to apple.
More importantly since it was a design position the interviewer focused on the thought process you followed to come up with some solutions, etc.
One important quality she said I possessed was that I has the ability to explain technical decisions with a top down approach giving a foreground before explaining.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Londres, Inglaterra)
Interview
Applied online. Got an initial informal phone call and a second phone call from a guy from the team. The questions were based on work experience and interest in the role. I really liked the interview. It was informal enough to not be dull and also they asked interesting questions instead of the usual boring ones.
I applied through college or university. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Los Angeles, CA) in Nov 2011
Interview
Met them at the career fair; they took a good look at my resume and offered an interview after a lengthy chat. Interview process started in-person with abstract questions, pattern recognizing activities (perhaps to measure problem solving skills), followed by more technical questions. They gave me a phone call interview after (which is not customary of the other intern positions I had applied for),and got the job two months after the call.
