"led the development" pretty much implies he's not working there anymore. Reading the article it's also pretty clear he doesn't have any insider-insights, particularly with the speculation about building shapes and how Apple supposedly outsourced that, as a manual task, to a couple of thousand Indians. I doubt an Apple insider would be too keen on speculations like that because if it turns out to be true it would be kind of bonkers.
