Raspberry Pi fans will have to wait longer than expected for the next major board. The company confirmed that the Raspberry Pi 6 won't arrive before early 2028.
Pi 5 remains flagship for years
The Raspberry Pi 5 will remain the flagship model for several more years. The Pi 6 will retain the same form factor and functionality as the Pi 5.
Raspberry Pi's official Reddit account stated the timeline. It noted that major platform releases follow a cadence of roughly every 4 to 4.5 years.
The Pi 6 will deliver quantitative changes rather than qualitative improvements. This suggests performance and spec bumps rather than a radical redesign.
The announcement came via a Reddit post from the company's official account. The post was also highlighted by tech commentator Jeff Geerling.
For now, the Raspberry Pi 5 remains the current flagship. Buyers can expect it to stay on top for the foreseeable future.
