Obviously, solar activity, and any other electromagnetism source / obstacles can vary from day to day and location to location... however, has anyone else noticed that when using a phone vs a tablet (both in airplane mode), they get better range?
I've noticed while using my iPad Air, that when I get nearly 1 mile away I get sporadic dropped video feed, and signal strength warnings, even though signal strength and video feed shows full bars in between warning flashes. However, the very few times I've used my iPhone 6+, I don't get those issues. Today, I used my iPhone again, and flew out to 1.75 miles and never lost the video feed once or got a low signal warning. I got chicken about flying further out as winds were pretty strong today, and going further meant rising terrain.
