Of course the pi 4 is still part of the product range. It's still being actively manufactured and sold.

Its a 5-year old product. With 5 year old specs.

As far as memory size, that wasn't part of your original complaint.

Yes I also didn't specify a clock speed, storage size, network speed, etc. What I meant was a modern version of an old product with similarly modern specs.

$35 in 2012 is $47 today

And yet the Pi5 starts at $60.

You're also missing the other half of this conversation where other SBCs have come way down in price.

Le Potato, Orange Pi, Zima products, Rockchip, not to mention all the X86 mini PCs, old office PCs, etc.

It's a Pi. Cutting edge (or even modern or high end) specs have never been it's selling point or goal.

This is just goal moving at this point. And stating just plain incorrect facts. I'm out.

I'm not moving the goal posts, you just ignored one of them.
