Apple publishes 'Reference Image' design to sign photos at the sensor on iPhone 18 Pro/Max

Apple published the design for Apple Reference Image, an opt-in camera mode on the main sensor of iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max that signs pixel data at capture and produces a timestamped DNG 'secure negative' verified via Apple's Private Cloud Compute and signing service rather than post-capture C2PA credentials. The system uses sensor-secure boot, Secure Enclave metadata signing, RFC 3161 timestamps routed via Oblivious HTTP, PCC-verified processing, a composite ML-DSA-87 and RSA-3072 signature, and a neural-network confidence score for revocation, while not publishing the model weights or a cross-platform verifier.

Google releases Gemini 3.8 Flash and Flash‑Lite text‑to‑speech models

Google introduced two new Gemini 3.8 text‑to‑speech models—Flash TTS for highly expressive, character-driven voice design and Flash‑Lite TTS for cost‑efficient, high‑volume use—available across Google AI Studio, Gemini API/Enterprise, Gemini Notebook, and Google Vids. The models claim large voice coverage (2,000+ production voices, 100+ languages/dialects), generative voice creation from prompts, 30‑second voice replication with consent verification, SynthID watermarking and C2PA credentials, and features for long‑form and multi‑speaker scene staging.
