      My guess is it’s digital processing, phones are increasingly baking it into certain photo modes.

        It usually doesn’t look like that though.

        Some weird or really old lenses can have effects like this though.

      A small jpg with normal bokeh that was then fed into an AI “upscaler” that is desperately inventing details.

      Da fuck is a bokeh? Sounds like a typo

        Photography word for the out of focus bits. The design of the lens, shape and quantity is aperture blades, maximum aperture size, distance to the subject, all kinds of stuff make the blurry bits different. Phones often try to fake this with a portrait mode setting.

      The bokeh makes no sense at all, it’s either added by a (terrible) smartphone software or, of course, good old AI slop.
