I really like the animation at the start of the article. How was that likely created?
Edit: I know it’s a gif. I’d like to know what tool(s) Apple likely used to create the gif.

Could be anything, but since there is a lot of 3D my bet would be on Cinema 4D with some cel shaders.
See this: http://www.eyedesyn.com/tutorials/using-cel-shader-to-cast-s...
The 3D effect is just an optical illusion coming from all these simple movements in 2D space.
Some creativity goes a long way!
Look how there is no perspective change on the rising blocks and the shadow underneath. Blocks just move straight up and down and shadow just increases/decreases in size.
People movements are just tween animations.
