I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Toronto, ON) in Oct 2017
Interview
Applied online, was invited to a group interview that consisted of about 8 people including myself. Everything went really well, was fairly easy to be honest. Got a call 4 hours after the interview to come in as early as tomorrow to speak with a manager for a second interview. That went really well, although the manager I interviewed with was very unprofessional and had no leadership qualities. After that, I heard nothing for a week, almost as if I hadn't interviewed with Apple at all. So I called in to follow up and asked for the manager, apparently he wasn't in at the time... Approximately 13mins after I called in, I got a nice little email stating that they had lots of applicants and now wasn't the time LOL. Honestly, for a company as big as Apple you would expect a more professional experience. Will never interview with them again.

I applied online. I interviewed at Apple (Saint Louis, MO) in Mar 2013
Interview
It was way too long. There doesn't need to be 5 interviews for this position at a retail salary. And furthermore the management team seemed like they came from other retail and knew nothing of tech.

Question 1
not related to tech very much and more about my customer service and employment dependability. Not very much about the tech side.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Apple (Northbrook, IL) in Aug 2013
Interview
The interview process may be a lot different than you're used to, at least it was for me. There's focus on story telling and the ability to relate to the human experience. Show empathy and understanding.
If you're able to just relate as a person, the interview may just end up being a great conversation.
