Recruiter reached out, scheduled one interview with a PD engineer a couple days later. The interviewer was late. He asked a bunch of questions about IR drop and ways to reduce the power consumption of a chip along with basic digital circuit stuff

Colloquio
First round was screening where I spoke to a recruiter
Second round was one on one discussion with 3 engineers.
It can take a few weeks to be contacted if you experience fills the profile. The whole process is painless and Apple makes an effort to avoid stressing the applicants (again this is for corporate positions) each interview was about 30 minutes long.
