Well thats definitely not true

I have the 12 and it multiplies any tiny source of light in dozens of fake lights.
The street light I;m referring too is much darker than this: a dark street with a string of lights. All the lights will get multiplied as fake lights.
In other words, they were shot on an iPhone. And processed there too, incidentally. What's to "c'mon" about?
Maybe the fact that there are many artificial stars in that photo due to software adding new light sources which didn't really exist in postprocessing? I have no idea if this happens but it is the claim they were making, and would certainly be worthy of a "c'mon" if true.
Huh??
How exactly did you come to the conclusion they just added a bunch of fake stars? Am I missing something? Post processing is a normal part of astrophotography, even with a DSLR.

Yes as someone interested in low light photography I'm well aware of this and it's why I'd be quite curious to see any evidence (assuming it exists) of smartphones doing weird things to their low light photos.
Either way, given the content of those links, I don't think their comment makes much sense.
Uh, yeah, that’s standard process for astrophotography. Not at all a “c’mon” moment.
It’s still extremely impressive that a smartphone camera can do this. I say this as someone that does a good bit of astrophotography as a hobby.
