How do I uninstall iOS 9.3.3 from an iPad mini 4 and reinstall it? I bought it specifically for a phantom 3 Pro drone and it won't work with the drone. Someone had luck with an uninstall/reinstall. At this point I have wasted a LOT of money. 😟
Apple frowns on downgrades.
While Apple allows, try downgrading to 9.3.2.
For a limited time Apple will allow you to downgrade to the previous release. Hurry do not wait. This period lasts for at most a week.

Restore to factory settings by loading the latest version of ios that your machine will support:
1) Do a full backup of your device if needed. Twice is best -- cloud and computer.

2) Three ways of restoring your ipad. [ as easy as abc ]
2.a) "You can use iTunes to restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to factory settings and the latest version of iOS."

2.b) Be a little more insistent: "You can put your iOS device into recovery mode, then restore it using iTunes.:

3.c) At last resort you could consider DFU (Device Firmware Update). This could void your warranty.
Thank you rccharles for your reply. I have spent the last 10 hrs working on this. I give up. I am defeated. I don't think this is an iPad mini 4 problem. It is a Phantom 3 problem.
Since iOS 9.3.3 is new not all apps support it now so keep checking the apps update an when you update it try it again.
I bought an iPad mini4 specifically to use with a Phanton3 pro drone. It will NOT link the remote with the drone. They say it is an iPad mini 4 9.3.3 software problem. How do I delete and reload this.
