I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Apple in Feb 2011
Interview
After being contacted by the recruiter, I had a half hour phone interview with the manager. It basically consisted of me talking about experiences on my resume, with no technical component. After a while, I was contacted again for a follow-up phone interview with one of the engineers on the team. Again, this involved quite a bit of talking about my experiences, but there were also some simple technical questions. After another long wait (terrible turnaround time), I was offered the job.
