I just purchased the Apple Ipad Mini 6 (with USB-C) to use with my Phantom 4. Unfortunately the Pantom 4 Remote does not connect with the Ipad Mini 6. I expect the Apple Ipad Mini 6 is not supported by DJI.
Any idea when DJI will support this Ipad Mini 6

Hi there. Thank you for reaching out. As per checking here, it seems that the mobile device that you had mentioned is not compatible with the DJI Go 4 app and the DJI Phantom 4. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that it will work properly with the app and the unit. We strongly suggest using a compatible device to avoid issues. You may refer to the link below for the list of compatible devices. Thank you for your kind understanding.

If you've got a Phantom 4 Pro v1 and an iPad Mini 6 that won't work together, I've found a USB A to USB C adapter and charging cord combo that will make it work. I've tried dozens of combos, and this finally worked! Links below.

The usb a to usb c adapter is right on!  It does work but did not work with the usb c cables you had the link too.

USB C to USB C Cable, INIU 100W [2-Pack 6.6ft] PD 5A Fast Charging Type C to Type C Cable, Nylon Braided USB-C Cord Phone Charger for Samsung S22 Note 20 iPad Pro MacBook Tablets LG Google etc. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08J2HXYPH?ref_=cm_sw_r_apin_dp_M4GYXB02CXA8ZZ8X4HR2

I tried it with this cable and mine does connect to the DJI go 4 app I am going to try a drone deploy flight in a minute but it seems like it is connected fine…

It works!!!

I find that the iPhone 14 pro max running iOS 16 works just fine with it as well.

I just ordered the cable, I guess we will see if that works, I own the adapter.  I have been on so many wild goose chases trying to get this to work, I don't know what works anymore.

Me too this combo finally worked I wasn’t expecting it to but it worked for me and I’m really happy because my old iPad mini 2 kept locking up in the DJI go 4 app.  I hope it works for you too!  I had to look way back through my Amazon purchases to find the usb c cable I ended up using.  So I hope it works for everybody…

I bought this setup off Amazon and tried it out.  Unfortunately I couldn’t get it to work.  I tried a few other adapters I had sitting around and nothing would work.  The cable is a great cable.  3 year warranty and high speed cable for charging is a plus.  I just can’t get it to work with the DJI phantom 4 pro.

I tried another usb c to usb c cable I had for a portable ssd I have and it worked too.  Is your controller fully charged?  And are you on the same IOS as me I think it is 16.4.1 also all firmware on drone and controller are up to date.  I uninstalled and reinstalled DJI go 4 before I tried this adapter and cable.  Also when you connect to the controller is the controller charging the iPad?  Or does it disconnect soon after you connect it?  Some of the cables I tried would charge the iPad from the controller for a few seconds and then they would quit.  I think the problem is the usb c cables they are not all alike.  I tried the one that came with my iPad from apple and it would not work.

You may access the link and click the iOS version so you will be routed to the exact download screen of the said app. Hope this helps. Thank you for your continued support.

You need to remember that for those remotes, the USB C cables only work in one direction. I have a Phantom 4 Pro V1 and iPad mini 6 and I got it to work using the USB A to USB C adapter and USB C cable. But you have to try it both ways. It will only work in one direction. Once you've worked out which direction works, mark the cable for next time!.

Hello there. The iPad Mini 4 should work. You can use the following link to check: https://www.dji.com/ch/downloads/products/phantom-4-pro. Under the DJI Go 4 icon, please hover your cursor on the "View supported devices" There you can see the iPad Mini 4 on the list. Have a great day ahead.
