DJI has released new firmware updates for several older drone models, including the Mini 3 Pro, Mini 2, and Mavic Air 2, which many believed were no longer supported. This move is seen as a response to the inability of American consumers to purchase the latest models due to customs restrictions. The updates aim to enhance compatibility with newer phone operating systems and maintain resale value for these older models. Although specific changes in the firmware have not been disclosed, DJI has a history of adding features through updates. The updates are being rolled out globally, including in the USA, where newer models face import challenges. This is viewed positively by drone owners and may indicate DJI's commitment to its existing customer base.
