OK everyone, I'm presently flying a Mavic Pro with an iPhone 5se, and now getting the CPU overload errors etc. I feel it's time to upgrade iPhone (and yes, locked into the fan boi ecosystem) so, hoping for some thoughts around what handset to upgrade to ... I'm thinking iPhone 7 cause of the chip-set, but would love to hear thoughts form the Mavic community - what are you all using? iPhone X is probably outside of my current budget. Over to you!

iPhone 7 works just fine, the Plus if you can or the 8 Plus if you can stretch to it. If you want a larger viewing experience the iPad Mini 4 works well too and fits into the arms, just!

Hi there, I think you can refer to the compatibility list on the official website. Also, other users feedback are also very helpful. Hope you can finally get the perfect one that fits for you. devide support list.png

Thanks for the feedback everyone, might try the iPhone 7 - and ensure no background apps are running of course! Thanks again.

... and just to give some closure to this thread, ended up running with an iPhone 8 plus, primarily due to the screen real-estate, but also the new generation CPU .... can't wait to give it a thrashing!
