Raspberry Pi has raised prices on many Pi 4, Pi 5, and Compute Module models as memory costs surge in 2026, undermining its once-low-cost SBC positioning.
I used to purchase several Pi’s each time they released a new model and probably have a dozen in total.
But I haven’t purchased any since they told all of their hobbyist and retail user base to go fuck themselves during the chip shortages, and have no intention of purchasing any of their products ever again.
Dont they still dothis? And subsidise it with higher spec items?
lol no
The Pi Foundation’s mission died when it was reborn as a for-profit organization, and that was years ago.
Demonstrated clearly during the pandemic when they prioritized sales to businesses over anything else.

Same! I have a veritable stack of 3b’s still, some pi 4s - all stopped by the time the 4’s compute module came out in octoberish? of 2020.
Haven’t bought anything of theirs since.
