- India's IT secretary disclosed the government is investigating a data breach at Tata Electronics that exposed files linked to Apple's unreleased iPhone 18 Pro.
- Tata Electronics, a supplier to Apple, was the company breached, with leaked materials reportedly including photos of the unreleased iPhone 18 Pro model.
Why it matters: Tata Electronics manufactures for Apple, so a breach exposing unreleased iPhone 18 Pro files raises supply-chain confidentiality stakes for one of Apple's largest production partners. A formal government investigation adds regulatory pressure on Tata to secure future product development pipelines.
