Overview

There are a wide variety of Apple and Android devices available. It's important to make sure you're using a device that is powerful enough in order to prevent the DJI GO app from lagging, freezing, and/or crashing during use. The following list includes devices recommended by Phantom Help (►), devices recommended by DJI (►), and other devices that are most often recommended by Phantom pilots.



Apple Devices

►►iPhone 5s--(4 inches ― A7 chip)
►►iPhone 6--(4.7 inches ― A8 chip)
►►iPhone 6 Plus--(5.5 inches ― A8 chip)
►► iPhone 6s--(4.7 inches ― A9 chip)
►► iPhone 6s Plus--(5.5 inches ― A9 chip)

Note:
Both Wi-Fi only and cellular iPad Air/Mini/Pro models are compatible. Only cellular models have GPS. You do not have to enable the cell service in order to use the GPS. The DJI GO app currently only requires GPS on an Apple device when using the Follow Me feature or to reset the home point to your current location if you've moved elsewhere after taking off.

Note: Tablets wider than 6.75 inches (including the case) will require an extender to be installed on the remote controller mount. The iPad Air will fit without case. This extender is designed well and will securely hold a tablet that's up to 8.25 inches wide.

Note: Your Apple device will work better out of the box if you follow these tips.
