DJI Shoots Down Rumors of Artificial Scarcity for the Pocket 4
If you’ve been hearing whispers about DJI playing hardball with stock shortages, let’s set the record straight. At their June 2nd event celebrating a decade of handheld imaging innovation, DJI’s spokesperson Zhang Xiaonan made it crystal clear: there’s zero intentionality behind any scarcity games.
She broke down exactly what’s happening behind the scenes. As soon as units hit the warehouses, they’ll flood every sales channel immediately. They’ve been steadily cranking up production for the Pocket 3 since day one, doubling monthly capacity month after month. Now that the Pocket 4 is selling like hotcakes, factories are running double shifts. The bottleneck? Purely because customer demand is completely blowing past their initial forecasts.
Zhang also dropped a pretty impressive stat during the keynote: as of 2025, the Pocket series has officially smashed through the 10 million unit sales mark globally.
BYD Officially Rolls Into the Humanoid Robot Space
BYD isn’t just focusing on EVs anymore—they’re stepping into the ring for humanoid robots. During a recent sit-down interview, Group Executive VP Li Ke laid out their strategy plainly: “We’re absolutely developing humanoid robots.” She pointed out that the real edge here comes down to elite manufacturing, software smarts, and hardware chops. Since automotive AI shares the exact same foundational DNA as robotics, she noted that if the team ever decides these bots are ready for family homes, BYD could easily start selling them through their massive existing dealership network.
Li also emphasized that BYD is keeping its doors wide open. Whether the company builds them in-house or teams up with outside tech partners, they’re leaning heavily toward creating a fully open ecosystem.
Backed by insider chatter, First Financial Daily confirmed on June 3rd that BYD is indeed already deep into R&D on this exact front.
