Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro introduces a “Reference Image” feature that embeds a cryptographic signature in each photo, allowing the device to verify that the image has not been altered by AI after capture. The phone also ships with the new 2 nm A20 Pro chip, featuring a 6-core CPU with two desktop-class cores, a 7-core GPU up to 40% faster, and a 32-core Neural Engine.
