I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Schaumburg, IL) in Jul 2012
Interview
I applied to work a sales position-overall I would consider myself very knowledgeable about Apple products, having owned quite a few of them myself. I submitted my application via their website, and received an email back about a week and a half later. We scheduled an interview at the store the following week.
The interview was fairly straightforward, asking about my interests, biggest accomplishments and failures, and knowledge about Apple products. The one question that surprised me asked about my hobbies and how I planned to develop them.

Question 1
Asking about my hobbies and how I planned to develop them-a simple question, but I was caught off guard. Don't be caught off guard-treat the interview as a life interview, not a job interview.
Focused on understanding motivation and your desire to be in the business - interested to know more about you as a person rather than just about the skills you already have
