Can anyone source stats on where most Pis are now manufactured? I can find sources from 2013 saying that the plan was in future for most of them to be manufactured in Wales, but nothing more recent saying if that is actually now the case. If it is, it might be worth mentioning fairly prominently as primarily-UK tech manufacture is now fairly unusual (while still not being the same as the Pi having been *developed* in Wales, which it wasn't).

==Models==
It would be great if the article could provide enlightenment on the general idea behind the different models. This is very confusing to newbies. To my knowledge, the Bs and B+s are the consumer versions, whereas the As and A+s are the industry models, correct? Thanks, [[User:Maikel|Maikel]] ([[User talk:Maikel|talk]]) 14:35, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
:I've updated the Specifications table to better reflect the division of generations. I think most of the confusion arises from the fact that the second version of the Model B was referred to as the "Model B +", whereas subsequent revisions deprecated the "+" numbering scheme, and instead use numberic delineation, such as "2 Model B" and the "3 Model B". So there are four versions of the Model B, named like this:
:# Raspberry Pi Model B
:# Raspberry Pi Model B +
:# Raspberry Pi 2 Model B
:# Raspberry Pi 3 Model B
:It would have probably been easier if they'd just named them the "Rasberry Pi Model B 1", "Raspberry Pi Model B 2", etc.

I was about to add new info blocks for the A,B and A+ versions, as I thought they were missing, before realising the information is all under the B+ model info block. I think however, as the B+ v1 RPi and the 2 and 3 RPi's look more or less identical (2x2 stacks of USB on the right), I think it's silly listing them in the 3 blocks. The Rpi B [[File:Raspberry_Pi_Model_B_rev2.0.JPG|frameless|280px]] was the most available Rpi for several years (I have 2), and the Rpi A (only a single USB and no RJ45 connector) [[File:Raspberry_Pi_-_Model_A.jpg|frameless|280px]] was the equivalent to the Zero for the same length of time. So I'm not sure why the most similar, older model, the B+ is displayed, over the distinctive A and B models. Please send me a message if someone wants me to take a more uniform photo of my RPi A, rather than the oblique one I listed [[User:Sibaz|sibaz]] ([[User talk:Sibaz|talk]]) 09:54, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
As an aside, when referencing the RPi, it's useful to know the original model B [http://elinux.org/File:Antijn_raspi_farnell_top.jpg| See Photo at elinux.org] included a populated JTAG header, next to the SVideo connector. This gets in the way, if you try to use some cases (such as the PiBow). Hence I'd guess it's worth being pointed out, in reference material, as it can be a significant different.
