iPhone 18 Pro ‘drop test’ leaks  get yanked from X

Videos purporting to show the iPhone 18 Pro undergoing a drop test were removed from X shortly after they surfaced, as spotted earlier by MacRumors . An account imitating leaker Evleaks was suspended from X after sharing the clips, while the post was removed as well, with X saying it “violated” the platform’s rules. Another leaker, IceUniverse, also shared the clips. In a post on Weibo, IceUniverse showed a screenshot from X indicating the post had been taken down, alongside the machine-translated caption: “Apple has already started blocking the leaked data on Twitter.” This still hasn’t stopped the clips from spreading, though, as other accounts have reposted them . On Monday, Reuters reported that photos of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro began surfacing on the dark web after one of Apple’s key suppliers, Tata Electronics, suffered a data breach. The videos line up with Reuters ’ reporting, which said the leaked data included photos of the iPhone 18 Pro’s drop test and parts lists. In the clips that surfaced on X, a gray device featuring a three-camera layout and an Apple logo falls a short distance against a checkered background. A source told Reuters that Apple had been “concerned” about the breach. Apple didn’t immediately respond to The Verge ’s request for comment.
