Ok, I'm about to lose my mind here. First, a little back story.
I have an iPad Mini 4 that has been babied since the day I got it. I'm the sole user and I've only used the original iPad charger and cable that came with it. No damage to any three and has been working well for a year and a half.
Long story short, I lost connection to the Mavic so I rebooted the Mavic and Controller (while the iPad was still connected and on). After the reboot I could see the live feed and everything worked again. No problems. I take a few cool shots and then disconnect everything and bring it inside. A few hours later my iPad's screen froze then went to a black screen. It does not boot anymore. Took it to Apple and they said it's a fried logic board. Bummer. OK, **** happens. I suspected it was the controller because it was the last thing I had connected but no proof.
Now, few days later. I got a new iPhone straight from Apple. Again, reloaded Go app and signed in. Could see the feed just fine using the RC side cable. Just out of curiosity, I then unplugged it and tried the USB port on the bottom instead. Again working feed and no problem. I didn't fly with it though. I tried my theory that maybe it's the controller by keeping it plugged in and rebooting the controller. Phone still continued to work fine. Oh well, was just my imagination and trying to find an excuse. I put the Mavic away and didn't fly it since.
2 days later my new iPhone bootloops and will not boot anymore. Now I'm suspicious that maybe the controller might be pushing too high of a voltage and damaged both the iPhone and iPad. It just becomes a ticking time bomb until it finally dies.
Can someone please help me figure out if this is true? Is it just me and I have a defective controller? Maybe I just have super bad luck? Any help is greatly appreciated.
