Interviewed Mar 2011 (took 1 week)

The process was very enjoyable. Applied in person at a career fair and then online. Had 3-4 phone interviews with different people that went well. They asked about my previous experience and roles and then gave me a couple simple coding "projects" to show them what I could do. The interviews were setup via e-mail with the recruiter.

One of my professor referred me to Apple and they gave me an interview through phone. It was a 4-to-1 interview included general questions and a few programming tasks. The interviewers are very nice and patient to give me instruction to approach a better solution for the problems.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Cupertino, CA (took a day)

For the internship, there was no phone screening. I was simply brought in to have two thirty minute interviews with managers on the team. The first asked me about items on my resume to get a feel for my knowledge. The second came right in and drew a UI on the whiteboard, then explained what it should do and asked me to design the software. It was pretty open ended. Afterwards, they walked me out and that was it.

All I can say is be prepared to answer underlying design questions.
