It's not E-Ink. It's a reflective Greyscale LCD. It's a nice technology. I had it in my Sony Clié SJ-20 back in 2002 or so.

I haven't heard anything about it myself. All the news seems a year old or so.

Yes.

It needs pretty bright light. Poorer than a 2005 eInk for brightness at ambient.

Seems like a lot of hype.

Edit:
Also The Verge article has a few glaring and blaring inaccuracies. You can turn down the brightness on OLED or LCD. You can make any display have a non-glare, non-shiny, matt surface, since for over 40 years. It just costs a bit more (not the amount Apple asks. See Act Sirius 1 / Victor 9000 in 1981, a Mitsubishi XGA colour CRT with flat and matt face in 1990s. Some laptops in 2002. The Nxtpaper from TCL (OLED & LCD) or similar idea from Hauwei and Lenovo.
The eink screens are not inherently non-shiny / matt, so it's part of why they are more expensive and many are micro textured plastic fronts rather than micro-etched glass (which is a lot more expensive). Some CRTs had a coating, but that's no use for a touch screen as it wears quickly.
