This tool aims to verify the authenticity of photos taken with an iPhone, by checking sensor information and metadata via Apple's Private Cloud Compute. The feature could serve as a countermeasure to the increasing prevalence of AI-generated content, complementing existing watermarking technologies like Google's SynthID and Apple's own Image Playground.
