Spoof iPhone 16 Pro metadata onto your file

Inject the exact EXIF and QuickTime fields a real iPhone 16 Pro writes when it records — Make, Model, Software version, encoder name, capture timestamp, GPS coordinates. Platforms read the file as legitimate phone footage.

Short answer

To make an AI file look like it was recorded on a iPhone 16 Pro, upload it to Calabi Sanitizer and pick iPhone 16 Pro — it writes the exact Make (Apple), Model (iPhone 16 Pro), Software (18.1.1), and encoder (H.264 (Apple HEVC pipeline)) across every EXIF/QuickTime field, plus your chosen GPS and timestamp. Free for 10 cleans, with a forensic proof card.

What gets written to your file

Make: Apple
Model: iPhone 16 Pro
Software: 18.1.1
Encoder: H.264
DateTimeOriginal
GPS coordinates (your choice)
QuickTime CreationDate (ISO 8601 with timezone)

Device profile

Make	Apple
Model	iPhone 16 Pro
Software	18.1.1
Encoder	H.264 (Apple HEVC pipeline)

Why platforms care about the device profile

When a platform's scanner reads your file, it expects to find a real device signature — Make/Model/Software in EXIF or QuickTime atoms. Files with no device profile (the default state of AI-generated content) get flagged automatically as "no provenance source." Injecting a real iPhone 16 Pro profile solves that.

What the platform reads after sanitization

The cleaned file presents as: Apple iPhone 16 Pro, software 18.1.1, encoded with H.264 (Apple HEVC pipeline), captured at your chosen GPS coordinates and timestamp. Indistinguishable from a real iPhone 16 Pro recording at the metadata layer.

Frequently asked

How do I make my AI video look like it was recorded on a iPhone 16 Pro?

Upload your file at calabilabs.com/app and select iPhone 16 Pro as your spoofed device. The pipeline writes the exact Make/Model/Software fields a real iPhone 16 Pro writes when it records.

Can I choose the GPS coordinates?

Yes. Pick from preset cities (Miami, NYC, Beverly Hills, etc.) or paste your own latitude/longitude for any spot on earth.

Will platforms still detect it as AI?

The iPhone 16 Pro spoof handles the device-profile layer. The full pipeline also strips C2PA, AI metadata, invisible watermarks, and encoder signatures — so platforms have nothing left to flag.
