Likely authentic iPhone photo sample report
FauxScan classified this Vessel NYC image as likely authentic because it contains Apple iPhone metadata, GPS coordinates, and no localized JPEG recompression mismatch.
- What FauxScan found
- The scan found iPhone 15 Pro metadata, iOS software metadata, GPS coordinates near Hudson Boulevard East in New York, a human-origin detector result, and no localized JPEG Ghost mismatch.
- C2PA and provenance
- No C2PA Content Credentials were found. The verdict relies on device metadata, location metadata, and forensic consistency rather than signed provenance.
- Metadata
- Camera make, camera model, software version, and GPS coordinates were present. These are useful source-context signals, though they still need chain-of-custody review in high-stakes settings.
- Why it matters
- This sample shows how FauxScan can support likely camera-origin review even when there is no C2PA manifest. It also shows why provenance and metadata should be read alongside forensic signals.
- Limitations
- Likely authentic does not mean legally proven original. Metadata can be copied, stripped, or altered, and location context should be confirmed against the source file and surrounding evidence.
