Every smartphone camera applies ML post processing to the image, and have for multiple years now. The newest phones even have purpose-built tensor chips. It's why we can have crisp 100x zoom, night images in near total darkness, and daylight photos that look like they were taken with a much more expensive DSLR.
Phone manufacturers haven't been making revolutionary advances in image sensors or the centuries long science of camera optics — they've learned how to take a few noisy signals and extrapolate them into plausible high fidelity data.

Not surprised ML is involved, but it's more akin to a photographer taking several images and combining them in lightroom or photoshop than it is to this situation where the model only has one low-grade image to work with.
