Buried in the code of Apple’s iOS 27 beta 5 is a reference to something called Apple Reference Image. The Reference Image feature links a photo back to the physical camera sensor that took it. A user would go to Settings, Camera, and Reference Image and toggle on Reference Mode. iOS 27 beta 5 shows that Apple is working on “Apple Reference Image”, a new Camera feature for authenticating the source of photos. The code is in an active beta, and the Reference Image feature may not make the cut when iOS 27 ships to the public this fall.
