I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Apple in Oct 2015
Interview
I applied on campus. The process took 2 weeks. I got an email saying the recruiter is interested in talking to me on campus. They asked me to be ready to tell about my projects and bring my some portfolio if possible. During the interview, we basically talked about my current project and the interviewer asked a lot of questions about the details. I guess he's not impressed by my project and didn't go to further questions about any real manufacturing designing things.
I applied through university. I interviewed at Apple (Home) in Dec 2018
Interview
It was simple and there were two phone interviews. Both felt very informal and were with a specific team. They were a week apart and pretty thorough for questions about 30min per call.

Interview
was 1:1 from my university. Pretty standard interview, you meet with one of the managers then you get a phone call for a second round. Sometimes, they ask you to do a design challenge that requires smart thinking.
I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Apple (San Luis Obispo, CA)
Interview
Went to the Career Fair, met with one of the managers. Got a call later that day saying I was invited to the interview the next day (less than 18 hours later).
The interview was a mix of behavioral and technical questions. I wish I had at least a day to prepare for the interview.
