Yes, as the article suggests, Apple is using it for reliability and latency for their built-in services.

But if they can do it, we can't be that far from NetFlix, Google and others being able to flip the switch for their high bandwidth products.

I am curious whether iOS exposes multipath to applications.

I imagine it'd be pretty similar to the adoption curve SPDY has seen. First Chrome implemented it to talk to Google's servers, then a few other websites, and now nginx will do it for you "for free."
