The Raspberry Pi Foundation today announced the Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+, a cutdown version of the B+ that lacks an Ethernet port, has only one USB port, and half the amount of RAM, but sells for $25.
While the Raspberry Pi Foundation has released condensed versions in the past – the original Pi 1 Model A+ came out in 2014 – the Pi 2 or 3 computers hadn’t received that treatment until now.
It’s an update to the existing $20 Raspberry Pi 1 Model A+, which was released in 2014 and is based on the same hardware as the first Raspberry Pi that came out in 2012.
The Raspberry Pi 1 Model B+ can still be useful Even though it’s more than a decade old, the Raspberry Pi Model B+ still has a place in today’s DIY world, just not the same one it once held.
The new Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+ is now available for $25. That makes this model about $10 cheaper than a Raspberry Pi Model B+ while offering many of the same features.
This model ended up being the Raspberry Pi Model B+, with improvements that included more USB ports, not-dumb mounting holes, more GPIOs, and a decent microSD card connector.
The Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+ is basically a flagship Raspberry Pi on a smaller printed circuit board, with a few compromises. It costs $25, or $10 less than the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+.
The Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+ is primarily aimed at those using the tiny computers for battery-powered Internet of Things (IoT) projects, and is designed with power efficiency and size in mind.
Since Raspberry Pi's debut over a decade ago, it has released at least ten versions. Two more popular ones are the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ and its successor, the Raspberry Pi 4.
With so many Raspberry Pi models to choose from, it can be hard to know which is the best fit for your project. Here are some of the best uses for each model of Raspberry Pi.
