Title: Apple's New iPhone Camera Mode Promises to Prove Your Photo Isn't AI

Link: https://mobile.slashdot.org/story/26/09/09/21...

Apple is introducing a new "Reference Image" mode on the iPhone 18 Pro and
Pro Max that uses the camera sensor to digitally sign captured data and
create an "unalterable" version of a photo, giving users a way to verify what
the camera actually saw before any edits were made. The Verge reports: As AI-
generated images and videos become more realistic, several new standards have
emerged to label images not created by a human, such as SynthID, C2PA, and
Meta's Content Seal. Apple is putting a twist on these methods by building
authentication directly into its hardware. Apple is letting developers access
a Reference Image API across iOS, iPadOS, and macOS, which could eventually
allow users to inspect these digitally-signed photos in third-party apps. The
company says the iPhone 18 Pro lineup won't come with its Reference Image
feature at launch in the European Union, but says users in the region will
still be able to "develop and view" them in iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27.
