I have an MPP too, and I use an iPad mini 5. Works great.

It'll do the same job that your Samsung S8 is doing right now.

does it have to have GPS availability as well as wifi ?

Only cellular iPad models contain a GPS receiver. That GPS receiver is active even if the cellular service has not been activated.

Love it. Cellular and fly with it and work here with it
when not on Mac.

I use a basic wi-fi Ipad, 10.2 without gps or cellular. It works great. Go4 and streaming functionality is exceptional. When I need maps I simply download them in advance or tether it to my phone temporarily.

Once you use an IOS device, your disconnect days will be over.

I use a iPad (5th Gen), iPad Mini 4 and a iPad Mini 5, all are wifi only, and all work great.

I started out using my iPad Pro 10.5 with a tablet mount for my MM RC, but found it was just too big and it only had 64Gb of disk space which I found out quickly that it was not enough. I just picked up a iPad mini 5 with 256Gb (WiFi only) and it seems about perfect. If I need internet access when WiFi is unavailable I just use my iPhone hotspot.

One big bonus was that the iPad mini fits the RC without any special mounts. Just need a longer OTG lightning cable.
Very cool!!

I have a wi-fi only iPad mini4 and MavicPro. This combo works great, in fact the mini4 beats my CrystalSky monitor hands down in all aspects except screen brightness. I wish Apple would improve screen brightness to at least 1200 nits on the mini's. Using a cumbersome sun screen just doesn't do it for me.

iPad Mini gen 4 cellular, but about to upgrade to the latest model.

tried a Crystalsky and I far prefer the implementation of DJI Go 4 in iOS to Android. and that's before the cost, weight and instability of the CS.
