I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in Mar 2012
Interview
I had three interviews, the first one was to see if knew basic Objective-C and to hear a little about my background. The second interview was with my future mentor, he asked me about my views of Apple and some technical Objective-C/iOS dev questions. My future mentor then had a entry level engineer interview me to verify that I knew as much about iOS dev as i claimed to know.
About a week after my last interview I received an email stating I got the position.
Around 2 months after I submitted my resume for Apple software engineer position, I got a call from the hiring manager. He asked me what was the good day for the interview. It took half day for meeting 5 people. It was long hour interview for me. Each interviewer spent ~ 30 minutes and asked ~ 4 questions. Each interviewer asked questions in the different areas.
6 rounds. 1 Technical Screening. Then onsite loop consisted of 4 rounds of behavioral, 2 technicals, and 1 sys design. Had an additional Hiring Manager round since I was borderline.
