Thanks for the link Robin. It doesn't mention Apple products. I wonder if the security is tighter or if DJI just figured they would get more bang for the buck if they left a back door open on Android?

I suspect its similar. However, it does not really worry me... I dont use a phone with personal info in it to fly, so like, whatever!

I don't care about the politics, and flying is one of my greatest pleasures. However, being informed is also an asset! Cheers. Flying chinese drones is like eating chinese food, half an hour after you've had it, you want some more! lol

Basically all these apps and all these companies and all these governments collect data for fun and profit. There should be nothing unexpected in this interview.
