The 2GB Raspberry Pi 4 and 5 get a price hike as keeping the price low becomes "unsustainable"
The Raspberry Pi Foundation has announced a $12.50 price increase for the 2GB variants of the Raspberry Pi 4 and 5. This adjustment brings the new prices to $67.50 for the Pi 4 and $77.50 for the Pi 5. The foundation cites rising RAM costs as the reason maintaining the previous lower prices is no longer sustainable.
