That makes sense. As I only have this iOS 7 device, can someone do a quick test
on an older version of the OS?

One explanation is that the iOS camera now always rotates the image for you?

Jesse,
I've been thinking about what you said and I'm not getting it. I created
an app that has three buttons, one takes a picture without
correctOrientation even defined, another sets correctOrientation to true
while the last one sets correctOrientation to false.
When I look at the photos on my Mac or in Windows Explorer, all three
photos have the same orientation.
When I look at the EXIF properties in an EXIF editor, all three photos
have orientation set the same value. The editor says its 0, but the field
seems to be a two byte value which contains 00 01.
Since I'm comparing three photos at the same time, one of them should be
turned on its side (the one where correctOrientation is true) while the
other two are displayed in portrait orientation. That's expected behavior
based on what you say below, but that's not what's happening for me.
I'm still leaning toward this particular option being broken.

It definitely does something, you just may not notice it.
If you try to display an image you took in your app on iOS in any image
viewer that does not correctly interpret exif, then the picture will still
display correctly.
If you remove the code, it will not.

I can't get it to do anything on iOS, so I think it's broken.
Any chance someone can do a quick test to confirm my suspicion? Probably
need to remove it from the docs if it doesn't do anything.

It appears to do nothing, except on iOS.
It is listed as supported on iOS and Android, and back in 1.7, it was
iOS
only,
Android does this:
this.correctOrientation = args.getBoolean(8);
iOS uses it after the image is captured, and calls
imageCorrectedForCaptureOrientation
[1] which rotates it according to the orientation of the camera when the
picture was taken.

Lists a bunch of platforms that don't implement it.
My guess is that some older platforms wouldn't automatically switch
between portrait and landscape orientations for photos.
