Has the Raspberry Pi tripled in price since launch? I was skeptical of all these threads of “this is better” but it doesn’t seem like it’s as ridiculously affordable as it once was.

The original Raspberry Pi had a single-core 700MHz CPU and 256MB RAM.
Right now I can buy:
Raspberry Pi 5, 2.4GHz Quad-core CPU, 8GB for £76.80
Raspberry Pi 4, 1.5GHz Quad-core CPU, 1GB RAM, for £33.60
Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W, 1GHz Quad-core CPU, 512MB RAM, for £14.40
(None of those prices include SD card, PSU, case, or any peripherals)
Is that a price rise, or just the high end getting higher?
That’s helpful a perspective. Pi4 isn’t that much more.
