The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Apple in Aug 2011
Interview
Was contacted by HR to setup the interview. Straightforward process to get in touch with the hiring manager. Interview was a different story... one question about my past experience, an explanation about what the department that was hiring was responsible for, and then two technical questions.
First question was related to the position description. Second question was not. Wasn't really able to answer either question in a straightforward manner. Felt I wasn't really given a fair shake (two questions?) and didn't feel like I was asked many (just one) questions related to the job description (which was OS level driver programming in C/C++, Unix scripting and so on).
I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in Nov 2010
Interview
Went very well on the phone but onsite it was a different story. A few affable folks but what a disorganized interview. The manager clearly spent no time divvying up topics, so I sat through six hours of the same damned questions over and over. A couple of guys clearly didn't want to be there at all. The manager was burned out, kind of listless, I'm not surprised - my connections confirmed the sweatshop atmosphere.

Question 1
I don't remember the exact questions but they weren't very hard.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Apple in Jun 2011
Interview
The recruiter called me to arrange a phone interview with the hiring manager. The manager called on time, asked about the reason to apply Apple jobs, reason to leave the current job, immediate goal, long term goal. Next comes the two technical questions, one is open-ended question. The questions require some thinking.
