The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Apple in Oct 2012
Interview
Very high tech job requiring several domain expertise. The hiring manager spoke and gave positive feedback.
Then the second phone interview by an employee, working as a contractor through an offshore company. Interview turns out to be helping him - he needed a lot of help.
Recruiter later said I will have news on such an such a day but he never contacted me.

I applied online. I interviewed at Apple (New York, NY)
Interview
I think every team at Apple runs their own process. Here was my experience:
I had a hiring screen, then a behavioral screen, and then a technical screen.
After that, there was a super day meeting with 5 individuals in 1 on 1 interviews
(1) Product experience
(2) Product design
(3) Engineering partnership
(4) Team Fit / Culture Fit
(5) Leadership / Potential
