DJI’s banned Pocket 4P slips into the US market via third-party sellers

DJI’s Osmo Pocket 4P/4 Pro are banned from import into the US, yet US-based third‑party sellers on Temu, AliExpress, eBay, Mercari, Amazon, and Newegg are selling them, often with fast shipping. The Verge notes a buyer who spent $659.28 for a Pocket 4P Vlog Combo and received it from an Oregon fulfillment center in four days. The FCC revoked some certifications used to ground these cameras, DJI says it does not sell them in the US, and third-party sellers appear to be distributing them anyway, highlighting enforcement gaps and related loopholes like HoverAir Versa.

FCC's Robot Rules Could Ground New Foreign Vacuums

The FCC added foreign-made “advanced robotic devices” to its Covered List, meaning new robot vacuums built abroad that can move autonomously, are networked (AI-enabled), weigh more than 4.4 pounds, and operate with at least 200 kbps connectivity can’t receive FCC authorization and likely can’t be imported or sold in the U.S. The move aims to curb security risks from data collection and remote control. Existing robot vacuums already in the U.S. aren’t affected, and retailers still list current models, but the policy could limit future overseas models; examples still available include Eufy X10 Pro Omni, Lefant M210, Roborock Q7 L5, and iRobot Roomba 105.

Robot vacuum brands respond to FCC ban: current stock safe, future models under review

Amid the FCC’s ban on foreign-made mobile robots, major robot vacuum brands have weighed in: Shark says existing U.S.-sold models will stay available and supported while it evaluates next steps for future releases; Eufy says current products remain available and updated, with guidance for future products to come; iRobot says it’s working with the FCC to understand the impact and will share updates; Narwal states that its US-certified products aren’t affected and it’s reviewing the approval process. The FCC notes that current vacuums can still be used and updates may continue through Jan. 1, 2029, and retailers can sell stock already in circulation, but new foreign imports require approval. The situation could reshape the market if new foreign models can’t be released, but brands are promising ongoing support and transparency as rules evolve.

FCC Router Ban Reshapes the US Wi-Fi Brand Leaderboard.

An FCC ban on foreign-made Wi‑Fi routers, supported by Ookla’s Speedtest data, reshapes the US market where Eero leads with about 10% share, TP-Link is close behind, and Netgear follows, with Arcadyan and Askey also in the mix. While existing routers can continue to be used and receive updates through March 1, 2027, vendors may seek exemptions and the policy could raise costs and slow innovation. Security concerns persist about vulnerabilities in aging devices, including TP-Link models, prompting users to check whether their router is affected and to watch for potential legal challenges to the rules.
