AI Summary

Apple Reference Image is a potential new feature in iOS 27 that could verify whether a photo was taken with an iPhone camera. The tool would use sensor data and metadata from an image and send it to Private Cloud Compute for verification. To use the feature, users must enable a new Reference mode in the iPhone’s camera settings. The idea was noted in a 9to5Mac analysis of the iOS 27 beta, suggesting Apple is developing additional AI‑powered tools alongside the new Siri enhancements.
