Apple iPhone 18 Pro supplier list, parts and photos exposed in Tata data leak

- A data leak at Tata Group, a major Apple manufacturing partner (it runs iPhone assembly plants in India, acquired from Wistron in 2023), reportedly exposed internal documents about Apple's unreleased iPhone 18 Pro — including a supplier list, component schematics, and design photos. - This is significant because Apple operates under extreme secrecy; supply-chain leaks are rare and can reveal hardware plans (e.g., camera modules, chassis materials, chip specs) months or years before official launch, affecting competitors' strategies and investor expectations. - The breach also raises questions about data security in Apple's offshore production shift away from China, as Tata is a key part of Apple's India expansion.
