Apple has long sold DJI products in its retail stores, currently offering the DJI
Phantom 3. The next-generation
Phantom 4, priced at $1,399, includes an Obstacle Sensing System that allows the drone to detect and avoid objects in its path.
It has a magnesium core to improve rigidity without increasing weight and it has better battery life. The
Phantom 4 is able to fly for 28 minutes, 25 percent longer than the
Phantom 3 Professional, and it has a new TapFly mode that lets users tap on their smartphones or tablets to send the drone flying in a specific direction.
With a revamped Vision Positioning System, the
Phantom 4's max effective altitude has been increased by 300 percent, and it performs better indoors. An ActiveTrack feature also allows it to stay locked on a moving target for tracking purposes, and the redesigned lens is said to "dramatically" increase sharpness.

the DJI website starting today. Pre-orders have gone live on the DJI site but are **t yet
Available via the
