GoKawiilThe next Apple Shot on iPhone ad campaign is writing itself: the four NASA astronauts currently on the Artemis || mission are taking stunning shots of Earth, using iPhone 17 Pro Max.
As confirmed on NASA’s official Flickr page, three of the published shots were taken on iPhone. The images show Earth through the window of the Orion spaceship’s capsule.
As reported before, Apple wasn’t formally involved in the approval process to get iPhones on the spacecraft. Each astronaut was equipped with a silver iPhone 17 Pro Max in their suits, and the crew also has GoPro Hero 11 and Nikon D5 cameras available to use.
While many of the famous shots already published from this mission were taken using the Nikon D5, the NASA Flickr account confirmed the new batch were taken from the iPhone:

The above is one of those iPhone captures, depicting astronaut Christina Koch as she looks out of the Orion’s main cabin window, showing the illuminated Earth.
You can follow the live progress of the Artemis mission on NASA’s website. Later today, the ship will orbit around the far side of the Moon, setting a record for the longest distance a human has ever travelled in space.
