Apple not big enough?

  Maybe it's because they aren't as focused on software as the others

    Yes but at least they are a tech company. Facebook has done some cool stuff in the back-end and released some great open source, but they are basically a single-product company, and its a consumer facing website that sells advertising. Assuming that everyone reading HN would rank them above Apple tells you quite a lot, really.

  I've heard from various friends at Apple that their interviews are way less structured than Google or Facebook or Microsoft's. For similar software positions, one friend was seriously grilled on implementation details of WebKit internals, while the other said he just shot some high level shit about music production software for a coupe of hours. Similar resumes, similar backgrounds, both got gigs but I was kind of surprised at how different their experiences were.
