I have yet to update my P3 Standard......
...but I was wondering - I have seen all the how to's posted today but....

I have updated the app on my iphone 6

I connected my phone to the P3 Standard and it is now saying its downloading upgrade package on my phone. (photo attached)

I had got the impression from something I read that the firmware update would be done by the phone over wifi rather than having to swap memory cards about and have asked this question on a number of threads but no answer.

So am I living in cloud coockoo land or is this something that will happen? - I have the battery on charge or I would just try it and answer my own question

The Phantom3 Standard updates the aircraft and RC through WiFi and the Pro/Advanced update the aircraft from the SD card.
Upon startup, it will tell you if the RC or aircraft needs updating, follow the onscreen instructions.

If you go to the about page it will tell you what version of the aircraft and RC you are on. If when powering up and it says update required in the Aircraft Status page then you should update, if it does not say anything then you are on the latest update.

It will tell you which one is updating, RC or Aircraft.
When you add additional batteries, they will be updated through the app too if they need updating.

Make sure to read the manual and watch the tutorial videos in the Academy section of the app.
From the main page when you start the app, the icon on the upper right corner takes to to all of that.
