My best guess:
First there was not MPP icon, so that MP icon was added when he registered the MPP probably.
After that they added an icon for the MPP to this forum and forgot to delete the old.
But I'm not sure of course.

I haven't found a way to delete the Mavic Pro icon.
If there is a way, pass it on.  I will be glad to axe the icon.

If there is a way to add an icon, pass it on too.  Want to add my Mavic Pro 2.

You can't.
That is how the forum works.
And if you have the MP2 already
Show us what it looks like.
We are very curious

I was considering the same thing, then considered the middle ground for less. The EVO if I'm allowed to mention a competitor here. DJI customer service scared me away.

A 1' sensor is far from being a DSLR sensor, not even a Micro 4/3 DSLR. 1" is used in small mirrorless cameras like the discontinued Nikon 1 so you are a little far from reality here...  a 1 inch sensor will be a step-up from the "cellphone" technology used today but no close to DSLR level by any means, let's be serious here.

You keep mentioning an increase in price for the Mavic Pro II like you have a personal interest in this... as a consumer I expect to pay just a little more for this upgrade. They are not reinventing the wheel by any means, the Mavic Pro was revolutionnary on its own right but a slight increase in battery life and a bigger sensor already utilized in another Dji product can really justify 2.000$? The Mavic Pro needs to be positioned between the Mavic Air and the Phantom series, not above it. If so, Dji will loose the core average 4K consumer and that's where the money is, volume. The Mavic Air is a fine little drone but I do not like the WiFi connectivity thing, still don't trust it.

A one foot sensor - wow! LOL In all seriousness we'll just have to wait and see but I think it'll be around £1300-£1500 for a base model if it is loaded up with P4P tech. Interesting times ahead.

Yeah, I saw this before the MP2 was released in March... Oh, wait a minute, it's April and still no confirmation LOL. Think I'll wait for what DJI releases before making any decisions.

This baby was due out March 28th :-) ...
This month it's rumored he's working on some end-of-the-earth predictions for 2019.

I own the spark it was my wife's birthday gift and I have the same dilemma MA or waiting for the MPII and I believe waiting is better although I'm sure that is not coming with a full sensor. Also I don't believe in the perfect drone it will have some missing features that will make some people going for the PH4 or further up. Many people think here that the holy grail is coming but it's a tough one for DJI I think, being in a position between portability and capability meaning that it could be not so portable and not so capable because leaks said that's going to be bigger than the MP but also that It won't have a 1 inch sensor.
Foldable, 1 inch sensor and 40+ min  of battery and ocusync and possibly within the price range of the MPP maybe just $100 more. I don't think it's going to happen this way.

I have the Air, fly it in a heavy urban area, and I'm very disappointed.  "Enhanced" wifi is a joke.  I'd rather go with Ocusync.

Have you tried changing the channels before going up each time? 2.4 ghz or 5.8.... I had the same issue when I first started flying and since doing that have had no issues.

Have you tried checking and changing the channels each time before going up? There are numerous ones in  2.4 and 5.8 GHz. I had the same complaint prior to doing this, no issues to report since.

Mavic Air or wait for Mavic Pro 2?

Hold off until Mavic Pro 2 comes out.
Then hold off until Mavic Pro 2+ comes out.
Then hold off until Mavic Pro 3 is annouced.
Then hold off until Mavic Uber is leaked...

There will always be something better.  
Unless it is something you really really like.  Then it will be discontiuned, and all consumables disappear.

From personal experience with the Air, I would and am waiting to see the MP2.  Dont get me wrong the Air is a great design, but the WIFI connection really lets down what could be a game changer of a drone.  I was so disappointed I sold my Air within 2 weeks of getting it.

What tool is needed in the toolbox and why? You can reclaim dollars by parting with what you have. If you want to try out the Mavic Air, go for it. You will lose about $150 - 200 on the resale in 6 months time. Is the rent worth it? I have my eye out for the Mavic Pro 2, I will sell what I have and take the loss...pending image quality, portability, streaming quality at distance. Those are my top three criteria and the Air is not meeting the "distance" criteria. I'm not talking the need to fly for miles, I just need excellent connectivity within 1 mile and the Air is failing me at 1/2 mile out.

Wow! I like the wifi on my spark but I ONLY use that one for quick selfies. I wouldn't trade the connectivity on my platinum though. I LOVE how stable that is.

Sorry, already annouced.  It was only available for short time to customers who kept asking and asking and asking and asking about it.
You will have to now wait for Mavic Pro III.

They have stopped selling P4Pro on dji website, so could we be seeing a new P5, or both we remember both P4Pro and Mavic Pro were released at the same time, at least Customer received them at the same time, so who knows, what say you now Jordan ?

If you’ve got a Plat Pro in my opinion the Pros are a better piece of kit. Swings and roundabouts but on the balance of permanent, features and cost, Pro. Air is great but not enough to dethrone a Pro.

I wonder if the P4P V2 will be the last of the P4 series with the introduction of the Mavic Pro 2 and its high end camera option ?

The P4P was one big step ahead of the Mavic Pro with its camera. Looks like all that has changed now (soon, very soon

And the Air might have been a backstop (soon to be door-stop ? ;-) ), DJIs answer to Anafi.
