Spark with ipad mini 4

Would a ipad mini 4 (16g) be good enough for the spark?

As long as it has space to install the app you want for flying, yes!

They can be cached on the phone/tablet, but that can be configured via the Go App

Currently the iPad would be the better choice.

Let me clarify the Android thing...if you currently have an Android phone you'll be fine. No need to go out and by an iPhone. Now if you're looking to purchase a tablet for use with the RC, then the iPad would be a better choice. The Wifi iPad will be fine for use with the Spark.

You don't need a GPS model?

Entirely up to you...if so, get the cellular version of the MINI

I use the mini 4 for my spark and am very happy with the results. I even bought a surrounding cover for the iPad mini 4 and it fits in the sparks tablet holder... with all other drones, I use goggles. But for the spark, my favorite view is thru the mini 4... 128 gigs of storage and reasonably priced..

You'll only need GPS on your mobile device if you want to be able to reset the home point to your current position after taking off. All other GPS related features use the Spark's internal GPS receiver.
