Why the Raspberry Pi 6 is Delayed Until 2028 and What It Means for You

Raspberry Pi says the Raspberry Pi 6 will not arrive until at least early 2028.

The delay is driven by global DRAM shortages and rising manufacturing costs.

The next board will emphasize CPU and I/O gains, while avoiding pricier extras like M.2 storage or AI chips.

The same pressures are also slowing the Raspberry Pi Zero 2W, delaying the Zero 3, and shaping incremental updates to older products.
