In an unusual departure from Apple's typical secrecy, the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro has appeared in a leaked drop test video prior to its official announcement. The flagship device closely resembles the iPhone 17 Pro in design, as expected.
Two videos circulating online, shared by @evleaks on X, demonstrate controlled drop tests of the iPhone 18 Pro. However, this account, believed to belong to Evan Blass, has since been suspended.
iPhone 18 Pro Leaked Drop Test
The source of this leak appears to be a ransomware attack on Apple's manufacturing partner, Tata Electronics, which resulted in the exposure of numerous component design documents and specifications.
According to reports from Reuters, over 200,000 files were uploaded to the dark web, suggesting the potential for additional leaks in the near future. As of now, Apple has not provided any official comment regarding this incident.
