iPhone 18 Pro can authenticate that your photo wasn’t edited with AI

The iPhone 18 Pro has a new feature called Apple Reference Image. This feature allows users to prove that a photo was taken with an iPhone and not generated by AI. The feature works by creating a unique reference image for each iPhone's camera. This reference image is then compared to the photo in question, and if it matches, the photo is deemed authentic.

This feature is likely to be of interest to photographers and social media users who want to verify the authenticity of photos. The Apple Reference Image feature is a response to the growing concern about AI-generated photos. AI-generated photos can be used to spread misinformation or to deceive people into thinking a photo was taken in a certain location or time. By providing a way to verify the authenticity of photos, Apple is trying to combat the spread of misinformation.
