In 2026, Pi is losing its footing among hobbyists. This memory fragmentation driven by marginal price gaps is strangely familiar. It’s straight from Apple and smartphone makers’ playbooks. Offer a memory-constrained base model and create calculated price gaps to make upgrades feel smart. So you might consider doubling the memory by not spending too much. Now, Raspberry Pi takes a leaf from the very margin-maximizing playbook to bring memory tiers. It’s surprising that ‘computing for everyone’ is mimicking Apple's premium positioning. With the April 2026 price increase, the 4GB Pi 4 model costs
