I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Apple in Mar 2017
Interview
Went through a few email exchanges, 2 technical phone interviews, and 1 mostly behavioral phone interview with the hiring manager. Each was 30-45 minutes. They were very open to answering questions both for the job and in giving general advice.

It was great got to interview with the team I would be joining. Very nice people and it really tested my skills. Multiple remote interviews then an onsite. All very fair interviews!
They ask basic background ios questions and about your resume. Be prepared to answer UIKit specific questions. Do some practice projects if you are rusty. Ok that's all I hafev to say
The interview process at Apple was thorough and structured, consisting of multiple rounds that included technical assessments, coding challenges, and behavioral interviews. The questions were challenging but fair, and the interviewers were highly knowledgeable and professional.
