The exposure threatens the carefully negotiated business of building the iPhone, which Apple assembles from a thicket of suppliers worldwide

Sensitive Apple iPhone 18 Pro supply chain files surfaced online after a cyberattack on Tata Electronics. The leak highlights risks around Apple’s expanding manufacturing network in India.

Apple could be taking action to limit the spread of leaked iPhone 18 Pro video footage that surfaced online following a recent cyberattack targeting Tata Electronics, one of Apple's manufacturing partners in India. Over the last day, video clips that apparently showed an iPhone 18 Pro undergoing drop testing began appearing on X (Twitter). The clips appeared to show a silver-gray iPhone 18 Pro model with a more uniform rear aesthetic than the current iPhone 17 Pro's two-tone design.

A few weeks ago, reports emerged that the Tata Group in India had been the victim of a cyberattack with over 200,000 files believed to have been stolen. According to Reuters, the hacking group World Leaks has leaked the iPhone 18 circuit schematics, a complete list of components and component suppliers such as TSMC and Qualcomm. Also revealed are the battery and camera components used. This information is confidential because it reveals who Apple gets their supplies from.

The leaked data reportedly included supplier mapping documents for the unreleased iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max models, along with internal photographs purportedly showing the devices undergoing drop tests
