Interviewed Mar 2011 in San Diego, CA (took 3 weeks)
Applied online. Received a invite through HR to a hiring event 1 month in advance. Asked to choose from various sessions on various days. As noted by others we went through a presentation and were asked to interview a "BFF" and then introduce them and why they want to work at Apple..what makes them special.
Group activity consisted of two managers asking group/panel interview questions. Many situational questions.
Later that day I was called and invited to come back that 2 days later. Managers were interviewing 6 people in one on one in 30 minute sessions through out the day. Many situational, personality and sales/technology type questions.
One week later I received an email asking to come into the store for an interview. Later that day I received an email for a background check.
Upon the store interview I met with the Senior Manager for a 30 minute 1 on 1 interview. Discussed the position. Some situational/Sales/Technology questions.
One week later I got a phone call from the store saying that they were going with another candidate
Overall It was an intensive process that is mainly focused on finding the top performers that fit the Apple Mold. Go into the process expecting it to be difficult. At the start of the hiring event they stress that getting a job at Apple is like getting into Harvard or Yale.
Best of Luck

Interviewed Aug 2009 in Carlsbad, CA (took 2 weeks)
It was very laid back. Just know the product and tell them you love the services they provide, like applecare etc.

Interviewed Aug 2010 in San Diego, CA (took 5 days)
About 30 applicants were called in after applying on Apple.com/jobs. We were all greeted in a very friendly way by the Apple staff and they were extremely enthusiastic. We watched a couple videos about Apple and the Human Resources Manger told us more about Apple and her role and what they expect from us - also about each position. Then we got into group of 5 and answered questions about previous job experience, what we did in certain situations, and our involvement and contributions to our previous jobs. If you made that round, you were called back the following day or next day and had a 1:1 interview with two different people. One asked technical questions about computers, technology, etc., and the other was more of a behavioral interview asking what we'd do in certain situations.

Interviewed Jan 2010 in San Diego, CA (took a day)
We met and went out of the store to a bench where the manager asked me some questions about myself. We talked for a bit then he started asking me about sales and how I would go about making a sale and how much I knew about the store and the products.
