rpi 3b+ vs 3b? Critical supply issues - Anyone know if the OS and libraries are essentially the same?

Hi All,

?

So if you hadn¡¯t yet noticed, almost all of 3b+ are unobtanium around the world (and just about all models).

?

3b+ was $35 @ Microcenter, now selling for upwards of $80 ¨C 120 on Amazon / some Ebay etc.

?

I need to buy a minimum of 50, and I can still get 3B out of china. I cant buy one locally, no one has a 3b for sale, and it looks like I need to order via Alibaba tonight before prices keep on increasing.

?

Looking at the specs, the only change between 3B and 3B+ is more advanced wifi capabilities, and a slightly slower ghz rate on the 3B.

?

Has anyone had OS / library issues between the 3B / 3B+?

?

As an example, Farnell in the UK yesterday was showing they would have more 3b+ arriving next week (as of yesterday). Today they changed their backorder date to March 2022!

?

Groan!
