I don't think he said that isn't fake. He just said that it's more than just taking a pic of the moon and sticking it in the photo.
Every phone camera does some post processing these days to make the pics look better than what they actually are. How's this any different?
If you read the original Reddit post, or watch the MKBHD video specifically referencing it, you will see that Brownlee recreated an experiment demonstrating that the phone was inserting a pre-made image of the moon when and where it 'recognised' the moon in the scene. This is beyond what you could call 'post processing', it's in the realm of 'photoshopping'. No Brownlee was not especially outspoken but I don't think there was anything ambiguous or deceptive with his presentation.
I'm assuming the difference would be that most post processing doesn't add additional details to the photo but rather just edits or adjusts the already present details in the photo. Do you have any source confirming any other phone that adds extra details to the photo like the samsung s22?
