Problem is: soon the phone cameras will be good enough for most people. They don't need to get as good as real cameras to replace them.
The ad campaign targets average consumers and not the professionals.
Digital cameras replaced a lot of film cameras before the digital cameras were just as good. Geeks overestimate the required quality level: mp3 became popular at 128 kbs (didn't wait for 256 kbs). YouTube became popular while having worse quality than normal TV.
(and this is even without considering the quality of the "photographer")
So yeah, today it means it. But Dave talks about the future.
