I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Apple in May 2018
Interview
Got contacted 2+ months after submitting CV.
1st phone interview was with a senior hardware engineer who asked a lot of questions about the projects in CV. All questions are technical.
2nd phone interview was with the group manager. It was all about the position. Only several technical questions.
Not hard. Both interviewers are really nice.

Introduced myself and research in the beginning and got asked bunch of technical questions with simple coding problem at the end. The manager explained about the team before the interview ended
Screening, followed by onsite. At least 4-5 hours of interview sessions. Diagramming on white board. Questions on digital design and signal integrity. Tough. Detailed. Also questions on experience and culture fit.
