@NASA just gave
@Apple an out of this world flex:
#Artemis II astronauts are carrying
#iPhones on the 10 day lunar flyby, not as mission critical hardware, but as personal tools for photos, video, and onboard Wi Fi use. The real twist is cultural, not technical. After decades of locking out consumer gear,
@NASA is finally letting the same smartphone in astronauts’ pockets come along for the ride to the Moon, even while Orion still depends entirely on hardened aerospace systems for the serious stuff. There is no confirmed Apple partnership here, but the optics are undeniable. iPhone just got one of the most powerful unofficial product placements imaginable.
