Since you only get old talk from DJI, which is no longer up-to-date, I searched various drone forums myself and found it here:
I just found that in drohnen-forum.de: show here: Drohnen-forum.de - IPad6 for DJI Fly App
Which tablet works 100 percent with the DJI Fly app?
The answer from an experienced DJI pilot who already uses the iPad 6 (WiFi only) to fly with the Mini2 and the DJI Fly App 1.4.8 with this iPad 6 Mini.
In the meantime, the iPad Mini 6 has been presented.
With the new A15 processor of the also presented iPhone 13 (Pro), it is a massive update in terms of performance, and is therefore safe for the next 5+ years for the DJI apps as well. In the medium and long term, in the balancing act between screen size, performance and support from the DJI apps (problem-free), it is certainly the best device that can be used with DJI drones.
For flying (and everything else) the basic model with 64 GB without cellular is completely sufficient. If you also want to cut, you can use an external USB-C SSD (Samsung T5 or similar). If you need the Internet (for maps, to activate zones on site, streaming, etc.), you can use the smartphone's hotspot. GPS in the device (only available in the Cellular model) is not required with the current DJI apps, except for manually setting the home point. I myself also fly with a WLAN-only iPad.
Compared to the iPad Mini 4 (and 5), the weight and dimensions (height) have even shrunk a little despite the significantly larger display.
Although the display has become 20% brighter than the Mini 4, it is "only" 500 nits, which is sufficient if you are not flying in direct sunlight. Personally, I never do that anyway, but always look for a shady spot in midsummer because of the heat. But of course you have to know that yourself, if necessary you can also mount something for shading, you have to do it with 1000 nits in full sun.
The price starts at 550 € RRP, then it will level off at around 500 € street price. I ordered it, it will replace the iPad Air 4 I am now using on the controllers. If you don't want to spend that, as mentioned above, you can certainly get one or two bargains on a used iPad Mini 5 soon, but the price should be significantly cheaper than a new iPad Mini 6 due to the much older generation of processors and the smaller display. The extra price for the Mini 6 is actually too well invested ....
