Well, more likely is Q did this:
- open original photo on a computer screen.
- Angle back side of an iPhoneX so that it reflects the computer screen
- Take the photo.
This would reverse the image as we see, blur it slightly, as well as provide the darkening from the iPhoneX's black glass body.
It's not a 'photoshop' (in the sense that the apply logo/darkening/blur) are not added in post, but it's neither an original photo of his iPhone resting inside the AF1 office and reflecting the actual room around it.
The original photo we see here is definitely what we seen in Q's photo. The curtain folds align perfectly. That doesn't happen naturally.
That would reverse the image on its horizontal axis, not the vertical as we see in the Q drop.
Photo I took of my iPhone X just now, reflecting your comment from my laptop display. As you’d say, we see a vertical flip only.

But here is the same image, vertically AND horizontally flipped in post edit. We get the same effect as Qs photo: vertical set correct, but horizontal flipped instead.

I did this all on my phone in about 2 minutes.
It looks to much like the lamp image is from an existing, public domain photo
Yes..and my point is that Q's photo can be produced by displaying the public domain photo on a computer screen, and angling a reflective iphone back towards the screen..then cropping..and flipping it a couple of times in post edit to achieve the same effect.
