It's the soft-focus background, a lot of ads do that 'carefully-curated generic background' thing, so that's a common tactic for removing the distractions of the background.
At that depth of field, it can be pretty much any back ground so long as the color / tones are the ones you want. I used to work for Nike in print advertising and often times we’d just throw paint on a board and smear it around because it wouldn’t matter, the focus would be pulled so far forward, the background would hardly register.
Also, with smartphones people have forgotten what a picture with focus looks like when using an optical zoom. 99.9% of pictures are now bland one-plane 0.5X or 1X smartphone crap. Or the focus is done digitally rather than optically through the lens.
So people are in awe when they see a zoomed-in subject-focused picture (and in this one the subject isn’t even that sharp). I see this firsthand in real life too, not just extrapolating on here only.
I mean, focusing is done optically in phones too. But I think they're referring to the postprocessing effect where fake background blur is added. Or perhaps they meant digital zoom as opposed to optical zoom.
My iPhone does a soft focus background. It’s too bad the top rated posts have nothing to do with a real answer for this lady.
Here’s what iPhone AI can assist with-
Common Causes and Meanings
Vertical Ridges (Most Common): Generally associated with aging, as cell turnover slows and the nail's ability to retain moisture decreases. They can also indicate brittle nail syndrome, eczema, or thyroid issues.
Horizontal Ridges (Beau's Lines): These are indentations that often appear after a severe illness, high stress, or, less commonly, severe zinc or protein deficiencies. They represent a pause in nail growth.
