I have an iPad Pro but don’t use it for flying (its used for editing everything afterwards). But i installed the FreeFlight app just to test it out and maybe sometimes to connect to the Anafi and download some files. Anyway, the FreeFlight6 app ist not available as an iPad app. This means, as with all iOS apps, you can still download and use it on your iPad, but its essential a stretched version of the iPhone app. You can choose between original size (in which the app will only be on a centered small portion of your iPad screen) or a fullscreen stretched version.
Just to get this out of the way first in case you wonder, once you get an iPad, why the FreeFlight app looks so strange on the iPad. That being said, I would go for an GPS iPad (only the ones with a SIM card slot have that!) and because of the app being streched, I guess a iPad mini would be a good choice. Should be fairly cheap now and its screen is not to big.
Maybe also take a look at the iPad that came out in early 2018, which was the first none Pro version that had pencil support. It was sold for a pretty low price and has good hardware specs. Last time i looked, it cost the same as an iPad Mini but the Mini was not updated since a long time, so in this case picking the latest normal (not Pro) iPad may be the best choice overall, if it fits on the controller adapter.
So to sum it up:
- Look at the current standard (none Pro) iPad
- Check out the one with a SIM card slot because those are the only ones with GPS
- FreeFlight app is not optimized for iPads, so everything will be stretched.
