I believe every photo on iPhone 13 pro is enhanced.

You're right though that this isn't a "perfect example of computational depth of field" as the background leaf looks far enough away where you could have achieved the effect optically on iPhone sensor with right aperature. That being said the blurring does look unnatural to me as it is not even across the background leaf despite similar distance from lens. It's not clear cut though.

You can shoot RAW photos on the iPhone. Don’t think most laypeople do, though.
This is the stupidest, laziest, and less informed article I’ve ever read from the New Yorker. I honestly don’t know how it got published.
