I'm an avid Android guy, I have never used an iPhone for my personal phone. So Android is what I used initially, but I wasn't happy with the best tablet I could find (resolution and brightness-wise). I tried Samsung Tab A and then Tab S. That was last July, things may have changed, but back then I had to remove all the Google Services stuff, apparently because the DJI Pilot program wasn't developed to be compatible with it. However if I remove the Google Services stuff I lose a lot of functionality that I'm use to on Android, hence I was disappointed. I could never get the Android devices to work as good as my wife's iPad Mini3 (I borrowed it a couple days). I returned both Samsung tablets. I liked my wife's iPad 3 so much that I bought an iPad Mini2 64GB with Cellular, $350. It was the same CPU as Mini3, and cheaper than the iPad Mini3, so it seemed like the right fit. That worked OK, but sometimes it would overheat in 90F temps and I'd lose video reception as a result. If I kept an icepad on the back of the tablet I was fine, but that got old. The Mini2 had quite a bit of glare too. So, my wife upgraded me to the iPad Air2 64GB w/cellular for Christmas when I bought her a iPhone 6plus (nice trade-off, eh?) for Christmas. The iPad Air2 has been working good, I like the larger screen of course, and I already had the Inspire clip upgrade on my RC. Hopefully it will work OK in 90F temps next summer. I just bought Autopilot so I'm glad I have the barometer support in the iPad. FYI, my Mini2 has used 20GB of space so far because I enjoy keeping the 720P cached videos of all my flights on the device to show other people. I didn't use the Mini2 for much else because I'm an Android guy, only had the phantompilot.com app loaded, and my email.
