Summary
X removed posts showing alleged iPhone 18 Pro drop-test footage and suspended the @EvLeaks account after the clips spread over the past day.
The takedowns came as Apple investigates a cyberattack on Tata Electronics in India, where stolen files reportedly included Apple-watermarked documents, supplier data and iPhone 18 Pro drop-test images.
The leaked videos appeared to show a silver-gray iPhone 18 Pro with a more uniform rear design, a three-camera array and more protruding lenses than the iPhone 17 Pro.
Apple has not commented, and it remains unclear whether the posts were removed at Apple or Tata's request or because the footage was later judged fake; Reuters had reported Apple was already concerned about the breach.
The swift removals suggest Apple may be moving more aggressively than usual to contain leak fallout ahead of the iPhone 18 Pro's expected September release.
