This comes just a week after Tata Electronics, an India-based company that manufactures iPhone components and assembles the devices, confirmed that it suffered a data breach. Security researchers told Reuters at the time that the ransomware group, World Leaks, posted more than 200,000 files related to the breach on the dark web. The leak reportedly included documents belonging to some of its clients, like Apple and Tesla.
Video clips that seemingly show a drop test for the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro have also been shared on X by EvLeaks (and reposted by another industry leaker, Ice Universe).
In addition to images of the iPhone 18 Pro, Reuters reports that at least six files detail the “hundreds” of components used in the device, along with a list of their suppliers. AppleInsider similarly reported last week that the leaked documents show the purported board layouts for the iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max, as well as what appears to be data sheets for the rumored A20 Pro chip.
Apple is “concerned about the documents being shared on the dark web,” according to Reuters. The Verge reached out to Apple with a request for comment but didn’t immediately hear back.
Update, June 30th: added video footage that reportedly shows the iPhone 18 Pro drop tests.
