Why is Raspberry Pi so expensive?
Due to supply shortages, the Raspberry Pi Foundation can no longer afford to produce them at that price, and so have had to increase the price to R663.15.
The price to fabricate a chip has reportedly been increasing as of late, in a large part due to the ongoing chip supply crisis.
