A leaked video allegedly showing the iPhone 18 Pro in drop tests has surfaced online, reportedly part of data stolen from Apple supplier Tata Electronics. Hackers posted over 200,000 files on the dark web, including sensitive supplier lists, component details, and photos of unreleased iPhone 18 Pro units.
If this is true, then the video shows the iPhone 18 Pro’s design is not much different from the iPhone 17 Pro. Apple is expected to focus on internal upgrades, with Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reporting “the biggest leap in camera hardware,” which includes a variable aperture lens to improve photo quality across different lighting conditions.
The iPhone 18 Pro is also tipped to debut with the A20 Pro chip built on a 2nm process, designed to run iOS 27’s Apple Intelligence features more efficiently.
Another major change could be Apple’s in-house C2 modem, possibly replacing Qualcomm and adding support for 5G satellite connectivity.

If accurate, the leak shows a familiar design but signals big changes inside. Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro lineup in September 2026, alongside its rumored first foldable device.
