I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Apple
Interview
This is a phone interview conducted by one of apple's team of infrastructure. The interviewer asked lots of questions in real system operation and there is no coding test. This is one of the difficult interviews because most questions I don't know the expected answer. So I just answered with what I'm thinking. The interviewer give very few feedbacks so I don't even know if I'm correct or not.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Apple in Jan 2016
Interview
Applied online last year but no call. This year, applied online few months ago. HR contacted me for a position not listed on website. Scheduled 3 phone interviews. 2 managers and one senior member. Got the offer 5 mins after my 3rd interview. Awesome process of interviewing!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
All questions were about my past work and research. No coding questions at all. Every interviewer was very knowledgeable, so no room to cook up stories. Also, very very important to prepare for behavioral questions - why Apple? why this position? how do you plan to contribute to Apple? etc.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in Jan 2016
Interview
I submitted my resume at a hackathon. About a month after, I was contacted by the recruiter and one cool team wanted to interview me for a position in their team. I had two phone interviews both with the manager of the team. He was extremely nice and very patient. After the second interview, I got an offer about a week after. The interview process was very smooth and overall a great experience. Everyone is very friendly.

Questions you would normally expect. It wasn't very hard but they look for how smartly you can answer simple stuff.
