I believe it was found out that this video is fake and created in order to sell the infrared camera attachment for the iPhone.

Some people tested the claims (using a DSLR with the infrared filter removed) and weren't able to remotely get the same level of heat on plastic buttons as shown.

I don't know if the video is faked, but that is a horrible way to test the claims. Regular image sensors only detect near-IR and not the mid to far IR radiated by hot objects.
