You're confusing ultra-wide rectilinear lens distortion with barrel or fisheye distortion due to lens construction limitations. The latter is correctable in software, whereas the former is what they're joking about.

Sure. But why has no-one else implemented it in a selfie camera yet? I'd put $ on this camera being a major marketing point for either this or next year's iPhones.
