I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Apple in Mar 2023
Interview
Phone screen with HM, then portfolio presentation with HM. Overall straightforward except I was expecting more rounds. Recruiter was great throughout the process. Might have been fast because it was towards the end of the year/closer to when the internship would be.
