The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in Nov 2010
Interview
Applied through Apple website, got a call from an Apple Recruiter.
I was asked to be present for a half day interview session, when I reached there I found there were 5 other candidates along with me. The recruiter took all of us to a conference room where other interview panel members were waiting for us. We were given a short presentation of Apple as a company and the team in general for which we were being interviewed. Then each person took one of us to an interview room. They used to ask questions for around half an hour and then the interviewer changed to some other person. I gave interview to 3 different person
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.
The interview was easy, we talked about technical stuff in-depth: os, drivers. If they think you know something, they would ask you till they find where your knowledge ends. So be ready
