I think the author is referring to the "slide to unlock" explanation, with a reference to the infamous Win95 "Click here to Begin" that used to appear above the start button.

I don't necessarily agree that it's a horrible design decision, but it is very unlike Apple to invent a control that needs on-screen instructions instead of just being intuitive.

It's not horrible, but we should expect better, especially from Apple, and there's no harm in setting the bar high for Google and MS as well.
