Tata Electronics Leak Exposes iPhone 18 Pro Parts Lists and Schematics
The leak appears to confirm Apple's supplier diversification and the internal design of the A20 Pro chip, including a possible shift to WMCM packaging, while exposing the company's closely guarded procurement structure.
Reporting from 1 sources: GIGAZINE.
A ransomware group called World Leaks has published confidential data allegedly stolen from Apple supplier Tata Electronics, including logic board schematics, A20 Pro datasheets, and supplier lists for the iPhone 18 Pro series. The documents, verified by AppleInsider, reveal parts configurations and procurement sources, potentially exposing Apple's supply chain strategy.
The ransomware group World Leaks posted a trove of data on the dark web that it claims came from Tata Electronics, a major Apple supplier in India. The files include logic board schematics for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, A20 Pro datasheets, part number lists, and documents related to Apple's in-house C2 modem. AppleInsider reported it verified the authenticity of the logic board diagrams and chip documents.
Reuters reviewed files mapping parts to suppliers, which could reveal which companies Apple sources batteries, camera components, and other parts from-information Apple typically does not disclose. Separately, leaked images of the A20 Pro chip suggest it may use a Wafer-Level Multi-Chip Module (WMCM) design, integrating memory within the same package as the SoC instead of stacking it on top, a change that could affect thermal and performance characteristics.
