Apple Crackdown Suspected After iPhone 18 Pro Leak Videos Disappear
MacRumors • • business
Key Points:
- Leaked video clips purportedly showing the iPhone 18 Pro undergoing drop tests surfaced on X (Twitter) following a cyberattack on Tata Electronics, an Apple manufacturing partner in India.
- The videos showed a silver-gray iPhone 18 Pro with design changes, including a more uniform rear and more protruding camera lenses, but posts sharing the clips were removed and the @EvLeaks account suspended.
- Apple has not officially commented, but the removals and suspensions may indicate the company is acting swiftly to limit the spread of leaked material amid concerns over stolen confidential files circulating on the dark web.
- Reuters reported that the leaked data includes Apple-watermarked documents, component details, and images related to the iPhone 18 Pro, with Apple investigating the breach and collaborating with Tata to enhance security.
- It remains unclear if the videos were removed due to authenticity concerns, impersonation issues, or at Apple's or Tata's request; confirmation about the iPhone 18 Pro's design is expected upon its official release in September.
