In minecraft, various minerals/ores need a certain quality of pickaxe to mine them:
To mine a stone block and get a drop, you need to use a wooden pickaxe or better.
To mine a cobblestone block and get a drop, you need to use a wooden pickaxe or better.
To mine a coal ore block and get a drop, you need to use a wooden pickaxe or better.
To mine an iron ore block and get a drop, you need to use a stone pickaxe or better.
To mine a lapis lazuli block and get a drop, you need to use a stone pickaxe or better.
To mine a gold ore block and get a drop, you need to use an iron pickaxe or better.
To mine a diamond ore block and get a drop, you need to use an iron pickaxe or better.
To mine an obsidian block and get a drop, you need to use a diamond pickaxe or better.
(this list is not complete)
Quality order of Pickaxes (and other tools)
*1 is the worst, 4 is the best*
1. Wood
2. Stone
3. Iron
4. Diamond
You can also make tools out of gold, but they have a very low durability (even worse than wood)
Gold pickaxes can successfully mine coal ore, iron ore, gold ore, lapis lazuli ore, diamond ore, stone, and cobblestone. There may be more. They also are very quick, but most likely not worth it.

Why cant you mine redstone with your iron pickaxe in minecraft PE?
You can break the block with an iron pickaxe but not gain the drops. Not sure why they added the ores but not the actual redstone. I suggest not mining it so in the future when they add redstone, you have the ores to mine.

Can you collect redstone on minecraft PE?
Using an iron or diamond pickaxe will allow you to harvest redstone dust from the ore found deep underground. Redstone dust trails can either be gathered by left clicking on each piece once (It breaks instantly, like torches) or displaced by water (usually applied with a bucket) and then collected in larger amounts. Lava will also displace it, but it will subsequently destroy the item drop.
