TL;DR
- NASA astronauts have captured Earth from deep space using the iPhone 17 Pro Max, something no Android phone has ever done.
- The images were taken casually with the front camera during the Artemis II mission, essentially making them “space selfies.”
- While Samsung previously sent the Galaxy S24 to the edge of space, Apple’s phone is the first to be a part of a crewed lunar mission.
For years, smartphone camera rivalries have been about specs, processing power, and the unique photography features devices have to offer. But now, NASA has handed Apple a win that no Android phone can match.
