iPhone 18 Pro Max Leaks vs Secrets From Tata Cyberattack

iPhone 18 Pro Max Leaks vs Secrets From Tata Cyberattack
iPhone 18 Pro Max Launch: Leaks Vs Secrets That Came Out Of The 630GB Tata Electronics Cyberattack · news18.com

Apple is getting ready to show off a new phone called the iPhone 18 Pro Max in September.

This year, a lot of the phone's secrets were stolen by hackers from a factory in India called Tata Electronics.

The thieves took more than 630GB of secret documents.

That is why many rumours about the new iPhone come from stolen papers instead of from Apple.

The stolen papers show the phone may have a bigger battery and better cooling.

It might also have a new Apple-made internet chip in India and other countries, while the American version uses a chip from Qualcomm.

Some people say the phone will be very heavy, the heaviest iPhone ever made.

Other rumours disagree, because the stolen documents describe lots of different versions of the phone.

Nobody knows for sure which rumours are true.

Apple will show the real phone on September 9, and then we will all know.
