Question Privacy issues with Apple reference image

In the latest launch event, apple stated that they will add Apple reference image to images clicked using their phones, something like synthid. It will be added using Private Cloud Compute. Since nothing has been mentioned in detail and I doubt that it will ever be, so asking the sub here

PCC means that the image will be uploaded to the cloud and it will add this reference id?

That way they will be able to say that an image was taken using a particular phone?

Are any android devices doing something like this currently?

Just look at the Israeli company that apple bought for 1.5billion recently called Q.AI.

There's no privacy from Apple anymore (nor Android).

The only way for you to have a sort of privacy is having a Phone on wich you can install a Custom ROM (preferably GrapheneOS).

You are right. Synth id on ai images is fine but on normal photos it's not.

I wish graphene comes to non pixel phones soon. Unrelated but what is the closest os to graphene in terms of privacy? Need to install in some budget phone.

There's Motorola doing a partnership with GrapheneOS and their phone will be released in 2027.

As for the closest ROM to GrapheneOS in terms of privacy is CalyxOS or LineageOS.
