Latest DJI Air 3 leak shows we might be getting two upgraded RCs

You know a release is right around the corner when we get new leaks every day. So many that we actually missed one that came out on Wednesday. It appears that the DJI RC and RC-N1 controllers will become outdated once the Air 3 is announced.

DJI leaker Igor Bogdanov shared SKUs for the upcoming Air 3 release. Similar to all drones released since the Mini 3 Pro, we will have two controller options. With the introduction of the more affordable RC, we have typically seen an option with the N1 smartphone controller and a pricier built-in-screen controller, except for the Mavic 3 Pro, which offered the RC and RC Pro as options.

DJI has had one smartphone controller, the RC-N1, for the past few years, serving as the cheapest and most basic option to fly your drones. And if you don’t mind using your phone as your screen, it works quite well.
