Nokia is set to launch a 4G network on the Moon this year, as reported by CNBC. The network will go up to the Moon on a SpaceX rocket and will be used to help with the forthcoming human-crewed Artemis mission. The thing is, Nokia originally said in 2020 that the network would be deployed on the Moon in “late 2022,” so we’ll have to wait and see if the network actually makes it to the Moon’s surface this year.

The first developer beta of the update was released today, and the biggest features so far appear to be a new sports tab in the News app and the ability to ask Siri to start a screen recording. Later betas could add more exciting features, but if you’re looking for major software changes, it seems like you’ll have to wait until iOS 17.
