The interview process was super quick! I had two phone screens, spread 2 days apart, followed by an HR interview 3 days later, during which I was made an offer!

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Cupertino, CA (took 2 weeks)
I was first contacted by a recruiter to set up a phone screen with the hiring manager of a predetermined team. After the initial phone screen which consisted of an overview of the position in question and a discussion of my experience and skill set, a phone interview was scheduled with another developer. This interview consisted of more in depth discussion of programming topics as well as problem solving.

Interviewed Feb 2011 (took 4+ weeks)
After being contacted by the recruiter, I had a half hour phone interview with the manager. It basically consisted of me talking about experiences on my resume, with no technical component. After a while, I was contacted again for a follow-up phone interview with one of the engineers on the team. Again, this involved quite a bit of talking about my experiences, but there were also some simple technical questions. After another long wait (terrible turnaround time), I was offered the job.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in Cupertino, CA (took 2 weeks)
I went through a series of 4 phone interviews.
I was asked very specific case questions on Supply Chain (Applecare - Global Commodity management was the group) and very few behavioral questions.
I first interviewed with what would become my hiring manager, then with another manager. Third interview was with a director and the fourth with what would become my peers.
After the first interview I waited for about a week but I was told right away I would get a second interview. Between the second and the third it was a matter of 2 days. Fourth interview was more a formality.

Interviewed May 2010 in Minneapolis, MN (took 2 weeks)
The interview process took a very very long time for the position, which was the 2 year internship which would basically make you an assistant manager of the store. From what I gathered was that they were basically looking to fill in-store specialist spots and generally after working in the same store for 2 years if you are motivated you can become a general manager.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in San Francisco, CA (took a day)
An internal recruiter contacted me for a summer intern position in their hardware design group. The phone interview took about 45 minutes. I personally think phone interview is not effective way of communicating. The interviewer has an accent and the phone line is very noisy. The interview went into two parts. The first part is about past work experience and only one technical question was asked. The interviewer seemed to have no interest in my CVs. I can only say the time is very limited and I was speaking too fast. The technical problem is very basic digital logic design problem. I felt unfriendly when I ask questions since the interviewer did not clarify the problem. I did not answer the question well.

Interviewed Nov 2009 (took a day)
Extremely technical interview, with questions on transistor design and application. Also asked in-depth questions on digital logic design and VLSI. I personally think asking extremely technical questions on the phone is ridiculous, especially if you don't have the question and figures in front of you. If you are an Electrical or Computer Engineering student seeking an internship, make sure you understand ALL of your core-level classes like Electromagnetism, Digital Logics, Electronics, and basic Programming.

Interviewed Apr 2009 (took a day)
The person I interviewed with was pretty nice, gave a good insight on the culture of the company. They asked a lot of skill questions and behavioral questions. There were a lot of scenario and what ifs and technical questions like how would you fix this problem regarding peripherals and setting up hardware.
