Apple introduced Apple Reference Image to help verify that iPhone photos reflect what the camera sensor captured rather than later edits or AI manipulation. The feature requires an iPhone 18 Pro or iPhone 18 Pro Max in Reference mode and signed sensor data is developed in Private Cloud Compute, with SynthID software support arriving later this year.

Meta still keeps its top systems closed, but it’s clearly betting that more developers will build long-running agent workflows when they can run, fine-tune, and adapt the weights.
