Mavic Mini + iPhone 15 Pro - not working

[kumaraxg]

My DJI Mini is not pairing, remote won't connect to my iPhone 15 pro with USB C cable. I tried multiple cables, OTG ones, but no effect.
Any one here tried this and working?

Greetings from Birmingham Alabama USA, welcome to the forum! We look forward to hearing from you!
This is typically a cable issue. However, I see you have tried different ones already. Make sure to use cables for data not charging.

Sorry for your problem, you need to offer up more information: You did not say if you just got this or you have had it for a while. Is this a new problem, Have you had it paired previously, Is this a New drone, Is it a used drone, did you just buy it from a friend that might live nearby, did you just buy it used from a pawn shop or off the internet?

I have had it for a few years and its paired to my old iPhone 13 pro, was working fine with that.
I bought this cable https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MFWRW1J/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1, and tried others too but it wont work with my iPhone 15 pro.

I tried connecting to another iPhone 13 to test, and it works fine.
So not sure if its just the cable, or need some upgrade on the dron itself.

appreciate if any one can share their experience, and if they could successfully pair the drone with iPhone 15s.

If this is a USB-C iPhone, try the std DJI "controller to Lightning" cable in series with a "Lightning to USB-C" adaptor going into the phone.
I think the problem lies in the way Apple implemented something relating to USB-C and the above works with the mini 2 type controllers so it may work with the Mavic mini controller.


With the std DJI controller to USB-C cable is the phone charging the controller?

The problem lies with the iPhone 15. I found this on the DJI forum

"Messaged DJI and they said they're currently working on a fix. Really a bummer."

I suppose, In the meantime you will need to use your old iPhone 13

Thanks for the reply.
I feel like the reverse charging on iPhone 15 is messing it up, it tries to charge the controller back instead....

iPhone 15 "RC Disconnected" during flight

I've recently upgraded to the iPhone 15, which as we know has a USB-C port now over the lightning port. So I swapped cables for conenction to controller, official DJI from the box, never used. went on a test flight on MM, and I kept getting "RC Dsiconnected" errors, plugging in/out it connected...

Have you tried the "std DJI controller to lightning cable + lightning to USB-C adapter" and are you saying that that does not work ?

A while back, I called DJI about an unrelated problem and they told me to delete the app and reload it again. Problem solved! I hope your fix is that easy but sounds like it might take some time based on the above posts. Can’t hurt to try though. You’ve got nothing to lose.

yes I have tried that and it didn't work. Looks like there's no way to make iPhone 15 work with the mini...

That's a pity.
Buy a cheap second hand Android or iPhone.
The Samsung S6 works and you can instal any version of the Fly App on it. A 5S iPhone works but I think you'd be stuck with the latest version of the app.

Problems with the iPhone 15 and DJI is not new and if you search the DJI Forum, you will find lots of unhappy folks too...
