They're trying to make it very clear they're not speaking on behalf of Apple Inc, despite having worked (or working) there.

Big companies like to give employees some minimal "media training", which mostly amounts to "do not speak for the company, do not say anything that might even slightly sound like you're speaking for the company".

An employer's, especially as they stated having worked (and perhaps still) at Apple in the same comment.
