No it can, he's either talking about using a different app to control or he's talking about not being able to create a waypoint mission outside of the controller and upload it. Both of the second part can be done already, there is at least one video on YouTube how to take a waypoint mission and mod the points you want into it on a computer. The first is a matter of preference. A lot of people have used other apps like litchi to fly and those apps expose more capabilities, but in 4 years of having a Mavic mini I couldn't see the point of having to pay for an app to fly when dji provided one free.
Edit, re way points, for the mini 3 this is correct. Mini 4 pro has way points built in.
So the remote control with display can't do waypoint tracking? And just so I'm understanding, you'd rather plug your phone into the remote and use it as the screen? I thought it would be much easier to get the controller that has the integrated screen.. Any advice/thoughts are greatly appreciated!
Mini 3 Pro w/RC N1: for Android only, DJI has released the API to support 3rd party SW on a tablet or phone.
Mini 4 Pro: supports native waypoint capability for both remotes. DJi has not released an API and said they probably won't so no 3rd party SW. Many prefer the 3rd party to the native.

You do get the same real time view with your phone connected to the remote. But it is inconvenient. At least with my older dji air, my phone with case wouldn't fit on the remote, then for some reason only 1 out of 4 cables I tried worked with the remote. If you don't have a bright screen on your phone you can't see well on a bright day. It is a bit of a pain but manageable if you are on a budget. I personally would pay for the pro remote after the pain of using a phone as screen. Though if you get one compatible with the goggles, I think they are the best. Be careful with compatibility there though and check that you do not need the phone to use the goggles. You do not need it with the dji fpv, which is my favorite drone personally
