Summary
More than 200,000 Tata Electronics files posted after a ransomware attack included iPhone 18 Pro test-unit images, component lists and supplier data, widening a leak that had already pointed to major hardware details.
Stolen documents indicate Apple may split modem suppliers again: U.S. iPhone 18 Pro models would use Qualcomm parts including the SDX80M for mmWave 5G, while international versions could get Apple's C2 modem.
Leaked materials also back rumors of a more uniform rear finish, more protruding camera lenses and a Dark Cherry color option, while a variable-aperture main camera is described as the headline upgrade.
Pricing remains a central concern, with estimates putting the iPhone 18 Pro starting price as high as $1,399 versus $1,099 for the iPhone 17 Pro, amid Apple price hikes tied to a memory-chip shortage.
