The Mini 2 SE is an ultraportable, regulation-friendly drone that weighs less than eight ounces and is exempt from drone laws in several regions worldwide. Its 1/2.3-inch CMOS sensor can film videos at 2.7K resolution and capture photos at 12 megapixels.
Users will have a maximum flight time of 31 minutes with the drone, which supports up to six miles of HD video transmission. The sophisticated gimbal makes a 3-axis mechanical stabilization mechanism possible for continuously smooth pictures.
When recording HD films, the robust camera's 4X digital zoom feature enables users to switch between shots of various distances and compositions. The Mini 2 SE also has QuickShots and Panorama modes for creative images.

I've only ever used really cheap (<$100) drones and I suspect in this area you really get what you pay for. My guess is that the cheapo drones are harder to fly than more expensive ones because they don't have the stability and other features and that this is an example of a drone that's good enough. A few years ago, I think good enough was probably at least $500 and I didn't want to spend it. I'll think about this.
Are bigger heavier drones easier to fly, considering wind etc.?
Apple seldom announces that they are going to discontinue a product or that they've discontinued a product. We find out from sites like this. Nor does Apple carry a full line of some manufacturer's products. How or why they choose to carry any specific product is known only to Apple. Given the price of dji drones it doesn't surprise me they would carry only one model at a time. I'm in no market for a new drone and didn't know their was a Mini 2 SE, so this article is a pleasant surprise.
