AppleInsider confirms that logic board schematics for the iPhone 18 Pro and data sheets for the A20 Pro were stolen from Tata’s India facility during a June 23 cyberattack. The breach yielded over 630GB of confidential files, including assembly lists, quality‑control documents, and high‑resolution drop‑test videos. These files expose the exact layout of the new flagship’s mainboard and its component suppliers.

The stolen schematics reveal every layer of the iPhone 18 Pro and its Max variant, showing chip placement and supplier logos. Data sheets for the C2 modem (codenamed Ganymede) indicate it will handle 5G connectivity in the new device, while the A20 Pro (Borneo) promises a stronger image‑signal processor and tighter display security and to enhance camera performance.

The breach also exposed internal quality‑control footage of the iPhone 17 Pro and older models, but no new designs beyond the 18 series. Tata reportedly scrubbed color options from parts lists to comply with NDAs, a precaution even Foxconn sometimes skips. Attackers likely chose files that showcased technical depth while keeping sensitive details minimal for leverage to maintain control over intellectual property.

With schematics in hand, analysts predict the iPhone 18 Pro will deliver a noticeable boost in photography and processing speed, matching rumors of a Borneo‑based chip and a Ganymede‑based modem. Consumers may see higher image quality and faster 5G performance, while the supply chain faces tighter security protocols. The leak underscores the fragility of Apple’s manufacturing hub for future innovations.
