AAPL Stock Dips Amid Reports of Confidential Data Leak

Apple's stock dipped in premarket trading after reports emerged that the company is concerned about a data leak involving its Indian assembler, Tata Electronics. The incident saw sensitive documents, including images and lists of components and suppliers for upcoming iPhone models, being shared on the dark web.

The leaked documents reportedly include photos of Apple's iPhone 18 Pro models and a list of their components and suppliers. This information is considered confidential by Apple, which is now looking into how the data was compromised.

The leak comes at a challenging time for Apple, as it recently raised prices globally for MacBooks, iPads, HomePods, and Apple TV devices due to soaring memory and storage chip costs.
