Phone call with the manager. We just talked, no technical stuff. He asked how I was at Linux and stuff. Cool guy overall. The HR mized up times though and he called me at a very inconvenient time, so I was a little uncomfortable doing the interview. I talked to the manager but wasn't really inclined to proceed to further interviews
Around 2 months after I submitted my resume for Apple software engineer position, I got a call from the hiring manager. He asked me what was the good day for the interview. It took half day for meeting 5 people. It was long hour interview for me. Each interviewer spent ~ 30 minutes and asked ~ 4 questions. Each interviewer asked questions in the different areas.

The interview process was well-structured and professional. It included multiple technical rounds covering computer architecture, digital design concepts, SystemVerilog, and coding questions. The recruiters were very communicative and responsive throughout the entire process. Overall a good experience.
