Raspberry Pi 5 price increase: the 16GB model now costs $385, up from $120 at launch, after Samsung permanently exited LPDDR4 production in 2026. No alternative supplier matches the high-density 16GB packaging Raspberry Pi requires, and no Pi 6 is expected before early 2028 -- leaving buyers with no upgrade path and no timeline for relief. — Tech Times
