Apple CEO Tim Cook celebrated the Artemis II crew for their impressive photography using iPhones, linking the mission's success to the brand's technological impact. Concurrently, Apple maintained its leadership in the global smartphone market, spurred by strong demand for the iPhone 17, despite an overall shipment decline in Q1 2026. Upcoming products, including the highly anticipated foldable iPhone, could further enhance Apple's market position.
When NASA allowed Artemis II astronauts to take their smartphones with them, we already knew it could lead to some epic phone shots of the moon. NASA astronaut Reid Wiseman took one such photo on his iPhone, just as the Orion spacecraft his crew was on approached the moon for a lunar flyby . The astronauts turned off all the lights inside the cabin to be able to take better pictures. In the livestream , Wiseman showed the camera a photo he took on his iPhone 17 Pro. As 9to5Mac notes, he said on the livestream that he took the picture on his iPhone camera with an 8x zoom. NASA reportedly said that the image showed the Chebyshev crater, a lunar impact sight located on the far side of the moon, or the side we don't see from our planet. Artemis II launched on April 1 for a 10-day journey, with four astronauts onboard the mission's Orion spacecraft. On April 6, it flew farther away from Earth than any mission before it after it arrived in lunar space, reaching a distance of 252,756 miles from our planet and breaking the record set by Apollo 13. The crew finished the lunar flyby at around 9:35PM on April 6 and is now making its way back to Earth. We'll likely see more images of the far side of the moon over the next few days as NASA releases them. The Artemis II crew is expected to splash down in the Pacific Ocean near San Diego on April 10. Astronaut Reid Wiseman captured this stunning image of the Moon using nothing more than an iPhone 17 Pro. the same camera that fits in your pocket. pic.twitter.com/mZevaDhhIT - Earth (@earthcurated) April 6, 2026 This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/science/space/artemis-ii-astronaut-puts-all-of-our-iphone-moon-photos-to-shame-093740553.html?src=rss
