Yes it would work no problems

You don’t need a SIM card, if you want data connection use the wifi at home and tether it to your other phone when out and about

I use a WiFi only iPad Mini5 with no SIM - works fine though I do need to be connected to my home WiFi for firmware updates.

If I just put a SIM card and a memory card would that save footage in gallery until I transfer it to laptop like I mentioned I don’t need it for text or phone calls just want to leave it with equipment when not in use .

The sim card is not needed

Do iPhones have an SD card slot :thinking:

Just take out the SD card from the drone and insert in laptop

No, you’ll need a suitable card reader based on your phone connection port (lightning, usb-c, etc)

eg.

What you need is a micro SD card to put in your drone ( as opposed to a SIM card )

I use a Samsung S21 purely for my drones. No sim, has an SD card slot available but only there as a back up as it has 128gb of storage built in. Would recommend going with android as some automated flying programs will not work with iPhone. I use dronelink and DJI have only released the SDK on android for the mini 3 pro

OP has the 4K DJI so will probably never have the luxury of the SDK :frowning:
