I would prefer the iPad Mini 4 to ensure the stability.

Yes, I most definitely agree with DJI Susan. The iOS devices seem to be a "little" more stable...
Using an iPad Air2 Cellular for my own dedicated device, and it has been great. No problems at all.

Using a device that has adequate processing power is important.  The Air2 has plenty to spare.

I hear less complaints about the iPad4 than the Lenovo.  Somehow it seems DJI dials in Mac products better to their firmware.

IOS generally has more stable and more frequent software updates to DJI Go

Ok, how about this. Along the same lines, will an iPad Mini 3 work as well as the 4? I just dropped $1500 on my P4P but I realize I have to get an IOS based device.
Another $400 for a mini 4 is gonna kill me.

See if you can pick up a used one from an online pawn shop, that's what I did.

GO 4.1.x now requires at least an A8X CPU to manage the demands of the app's transmission decoding. That's why iPads/iPhones with lesser CPUs can't display a clean image, and why they heat up (CPU working overtime).

As stated previously, the iPad Air 2 (with an A8X) would be the new minimum. So, no, I wouldn't recommend the iPad Mini 3 which has the A7.

Alternatively you could invest in Litchi, which is a leaner app which doesn't appear to have the same demands on the platform.
