Switch tablet from Android to iOS

[Giorgos66]

Hi. I have a Lenovo tab4 8 8504f and I say it's better to get one Ipad Mini 4 ( 16gb A8) that I found at a good price. Is this change worth it? Does Ipad Mini 4 work well without any problems? Thank you.

Unfortunately I can't speak to the two models you are comparing. I have had neither. I can make a broad statement from my experience. I used Android for a very long time. There were always bugs, glitches, slow downs, missing features etc.. This is across the board whether using them with a drone, a camera, professional audio equipment, or hearing aides. When I switched to IOS everything just worked. No muss, no fuss, things just worked.

I know it's in the recommended but I'm asking if it's malfunctioning, which friend has worked on it.

No reason to switch if the Android is working. Use the money to buy batteries.

I'm not so satisfied with Android. Sometimes it freezes and there is a lag in the image. That's why I say take Ios That's why I say to get Mini 4 or even Mini 2

Mini4 will have a faster processor and would be the better choice from the mini2.

I can't speak for the iPad Mini 4 but I fly my Air 2S using an iPad Mini 5 (wifi only version) and it works flawlessly. The 4 may work well but, if you can spring for the 5, I'd suggest going that route. Just my two cents worth.

I don't have much money to buy the 5. I found the 4 in excellent condition 120 euros

I feel ya, my Mini 5 wasn't the cheapest but it was what I wanted so I made the sacrifice and have no regrets. Do what works for you and enjoy

That's not an Android operating system problem.
It's what you get with a low performance tablet that isn't up to the task of running the app properly.
Whether you go with Android or IOS, you need a fast processor and sufficient 4 GB RAM to run the app well.

The Mini 4 was released way back in Sept 2015 and has 2 GB of RAM.
It's not going to give flawless performance running the demanding app either and the Mini 2 would be a disappointment.

Agreed.

I have a mini 4 with the GO 4 app and the Spark.

In the end, the mini 4 experienced CPU usage messages with the GO 4 app.

I think the upgrades from DJI bloated the app.

Worked fine when I flew in 2018.

It still worked without a shutdown, but struggling at times.

Your results may vary with the GO app.

Good luck.

I understand... I also found a Huawei MediaPad M3 8.4" 4G (32GB) Android. With 4GB ram I think it will be better.

The Huawei M3 (and the M5) are excellent flying tablets.
Here are some good tips to set it up for best performance:

Finally, after your advice, I chose Huawei MediaPad M3 8.4" 4G (32GB) which I bought for 80 euros. I think I did well not to get the Ipad mini 4. Thank you guys!

Good evening. I read somewhere, I don't remember, that we can connect the rc to the Huawei mediapad M3 from the side (photo). It's better this way? What cable is needed?
