As a designer and developer, I notice it, and have noticed it on my iPhone over the past couple of years. Tho I'm not sure I notice it to the extent this article analyzes it.
I far prefer the black status bar in apps, as it feels like it goes away, while still being there. But the rounded corners don't see a big deal to me. The fact that the article always compares the two together, you can't quite make the argument that one is needed with the other. (unless I totally glossed over something in that)
