I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in Dec 2015
Interview
Fairly relaxed phone interview, mainly focusing on skills, interests, and what the internship would entail. For internships at Apple you are interviewed for positions on specific teams, unlike most companies where you interview for a general internship, and are later assigned. For this interview it was the manager of a specific team at Apple.
