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.

Five stories, in priority order, with our take on each.
