There was a Mandatory Update a while Back.... and If You Didn't Update, You were Limited to a Very small area to be able to fly in... like 30-50 meters.. But Beginners Mode is a Good Place to Start... And Learn to Fly in Atti Mode...

It wasn’t “mandatory”... many of us have never installed it. But if your device updated automatically as many have our devices set to do, then it became necessary to update the firmware as well.
At that point, if you didn’t log off and then back in to your DJI account, then yes, your flight range and altitude was limited.
So Here I am back again
Aus Post wont send it back to China ! Seems drones in the post are a big No-NO !
So to activate I'll have to get a Samsung S5 or better as mrmom852 says ?
Maybe there could be a way to activate it thru a USB like the Parrot 2 does ?
I don't think I'll be buying a new phone just to activate a drone
Pity DJI didn't say all this in the sales blurb
I suppose I can run all over Aus asking if anyone has an iphone or samsung s5 or better so I can get this thing off the ground.
This week I'm in Bendigo Next week somewhere between Bendigo and Adelaide via Hamilton and the Coorong , which I was hoping to take photos of ............. Sighhhhhhh

It won’t be able to connect to the internet at all via the phantom wifi, that’ll be what that message is telling you. You don’t need to. In your iPhones settings click mobile and make sure that mobile data is enabled then scroll down until you see the dji go app and make sure that is also checked. This was the dji go app will be able to do what it needs to on the internet via mobile data (not wifi) whilst connected to the drones wifi. Please see the screen shots from the settings menu I have attached for you. I hope this helps?

Oh ****, think I might have just worked out you issue. When you say you phone is an Apple Mac 11, what exactly do you mean?
Are you trying to connect with an Apple iPhone 2 by any chance?
If so there is a trick to getting it all working, just let me know.
Sorry about the swearing, I just popped $2 in the swear jar!

Hey if you’re still in Bendigo at the weekend I’ll be able to give you a hard. Send me an email if you like.
