Apple introduces 'Reference Image', a feature in iPhone 18 Pro models that cryptographically signs pixel data immediately after capture, creating a 'secure digital negative' alongside the standard photo. This ensures the image's authenticity, resisting tampering attacks and protecting photographer's privacy. The system is opt-in and limited to the main camera sensor.
