It’s now the Arduino Uno Q’s turn to get a price hike
Arduino is raising the prices of its Uno Q microcomputer models due to surging memory component costs driven by AI demand. This follows similar price hikes across the tech industry from companies like Apple and Microsoft.
Why it matters
Reflects broader economic trends in the hardware sector where AI-driven supply chain constraints are increasing consumer costs.
Arduino’s Raspberry Pi-like microcomputer the Uno Q is joining many other devices in getting a price hike this week. The 2GB version of the Uno Q, which is powered by a Qualcomm Dragonwing QRB2210 processor, will increase in price from $44 to $59, while the 4GB model is getting a slightly steeper increase from $59 to $79. If you’ve been eyeing the Uno Q as a cheaper alternative to Raspberry Pi’s current lineup, you have a little over a week to grab either version at the current price as the increases won’t take effect until July 6th.
