Its been coming for a while tho. They abandoned the affordable market long ago. Buy banana pis or other knockoffs, those have been better than the raspberry versions for a long time anyways...
How did they abandon the affordable market? You can get a 1GB pi 4 for $35 today, the same price as when it launched. You get get a zero 2 for $15 I think. Just because the pi 5 is more expensive doesn't mean they've abandoned the affordable market. They just widened the product line. Jeez.
How is the community on the alternatives? I always hear that raspberry Pis is easier to beginners due to the community. Alternatives are cheaper and faster but doesn't have a big community so not too user friendly.
I started with rockchip devices because I couldn't get a real rpi. I had no trouble getting help for anything I was trying to do.
Thank you! This is the kind of info I was looking for. Fuck IPOs.
