Few things seem to be at play here.

1. iPhone uses face tracking to adjust focus on subject's face

2. Same face detection can end up detecting faces in arbitrary objects. Very common occurring. Here the leaf.

3. iPhone uses multiple lens to compose a single photo. 1 lens focused on the persons face while another with better focus on the face estimated the face to be within the leaves.

4. The composite photo now has picture of leaf replacing the person's face.
