I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Apple (Waterloo, ON)
Interview
Very detailed with questions covering a wide breadth of topic pertaining to the job. Many questions required a white board to solve. The questions were mixed between technical and personality with some brain teasers thrown in. Overall a challenging experience but really shows you what you know.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Apple in Oct 2015
Interview
I had an on-campus interview at a networking session. All went well, I had an enjoyable and intriguing conversation with the design engineer. I showed him a machine that i had built and we talked about why I made the choices that I made.
My next step is the phone interview. I was told that I got one approximately three months after the in-person interview.
I applied through college or university. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Ann Arbor, MI) in Sep 2015
Interview
After talking to them at the career fair I got a text later that day asking to do an interview with the person I talked to at the fair in the following days. It was 30 minutes and about 20-25 were straight up just the interviewer whipping off questions. After that I did two phone interviews with interested managers at Apple spaced about a week apart from each other. In the phone interviews it pretty much just ended up being me telling them about my resume and what I've done, usually they were interested in a specific part of it and wanted to talk more about that.
To me, it seems that if you make it past the first technical interview, you're pretty much in and the phone interviews are just to place you somewhere as long as you know your stuff when it comes to what's on you resume.
