I applied through college or university. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Apple (Boston, MA) in Apr 2013
Interview
They asked about my personal projects and engineering experience. They wanted to know what was a particularly challenging project for me and went into detail, asking how I solved certain problems. They were interested in my process... What options I considered to solve certain problems, how I went about testing, prototyping, analyzing, and movie forward. Then they asked some technical questions. It appeared to me that they want you to think allowed and analyze edge cases to help you intuit the problem.

I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Apple in Dec 2014
Interview
Apple received my resume through a networking event at my college campus. About a month following the event I was contacted by a recruiter informing me that the hiring manager wanted to conduct a quick 30 minute phone interview with me.
The recruiter was very kind and timely and the interviewer also made for a comfortable environment. I initially was asked to go over my resume real briefly and the hiring manager proceeded to ask questions to get more information on things he wanted to learn more about. This portion took no more than 10 minutes. Following this was technical questions. They were basic beam bending and material property questions. Nothing too intense, but some studying before hand would be necessary to answer everything sufficiently.
The interview actually lasted only 30 minutes and was overall an average experience.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Apple (Atlanta, GA)
Interview
There was a social networking event at my campus with apple. The recruiters came to my campus and had an interview. However, there were so many people who wanted for this internship position so I had not much time to get evaluated by recruiters. Additionally, they were focusing more on your technical experiences rather than your personality or behavioral things. It's very realistic and practical. If you have many experiences like internships and research, you will be fine and will be going well with interviews.
