Can you elaborate on what you think will happen? It seems difficult to screw up the idea of "selling small computers".

Press 2 to be acquired by private equity, layoff 95% of employees, and pause future development.

Press 3 to release a $3999 RPi server cluster of 16 nodes with AI and cloud features that can be enabled by subscription features.

Press 4 for RPi 6 to cost only $499. Hurry, supplies are limited and the waiting list is filling up fast!

Press 5 to change the licensing to proprietary for some components.

Press 6 to remove the GPIO header.

What did they take away from the world by making a more powerful model which uses, uh, 12 entire watts? 50% more power, 50-250% more compute. Suits me.

Prices will go up. They will split out basic features into 'premium' models. They will no longer sell cheaper models entirely. They will find some way to shoehorn a subscription service since that's what every investor wants now. RPI Os will be littered with 'partnerships' and they'll find a way to make it difficult or unpleasant to use anything else to avoid them. They'll rush to do yearly releases instead of focusing on quality and support. I wouldn't be surprised if they break their guarantee to keep manufacturing products until a certain date.
