The teased 'new drone' landed as a safety parachute, a brand-new eVTOL class debuted on top of Everest, the Insta360 X6 leaked wearing the Osmo 360's body — and a mystery model code cleared Chinese certification. Five stories, in priority order, with our take on each.

Last week DJI answered everywhere but America; this week the asymmetry turned concrete — Insta360's X6 sailed through the exact US FCC certification the Covered List denies DJI's new gear. DJI did what it still can: it widened the Pocket 4 Pro's non-US rollout and teased a third straight enterprise drone, while the World Cup crackdown blew past 500 seizures and reached CNN. Five stories, in priority order, with our take on each.
Last week we said the Pocket 4 Pro's pricing silence had become a forfeit; this week it broke — but the launch routes around the US, not toward it. DJI answered on the two fronts it's allowed to win, shipping its flagship pocket camera worldwide and publishing a first-responder playbook for American police, while the doors Washington shut stayed shut. Five stories, in priority order, with our take on each.
