X Removes iPhone 18 Pro Leak Videos After Tata Cyberattack, Suspending @EvLeaks

Summary
Leaked iPhone 18 Pro drop-test clips vanished from X within a day, and the @EvLeaks account that first posted them was suspended for platform-rule violations.
The footage surfaced after a cyberattack on Tata Electronics, Apple's manufacturing partner in India, where stolen files reportedly included Apple-watermarked documents, supplier data and iPhone 18 Pro drop-test images.
The videos appeared to show a silver-gray iPhone 18 Pro with a more uniform rear design, a three-camera array with more prominent lens protrusions and a reflective Apple logo.
Apple has not commented, and it remains unclear whether the takedowns came at Apple's or Tata's request, or whether X later judged the clips to be fake or tied to impersonation.
Reuters previously reported Apple was investigating the breach with Tata and pursuing longer-term security measures ahead of the expected September iPhone 18 Pro launch.
