Again? Still. Getting parts has been nasty the past few years. (I think my favorite was the supplier that basically said "well, I can prioritize your order if you buy 10k units. Then I can get 500 to you in 6 months. Of course you need to pay for all 10k now. No, I can't tell you when we'll be able to deliver the entire 10k, might be a few years")
I don't think they've talked about what their specific constraint is, but given their SoC supply afaik is still entirely dependent on Broadcom I wouldn't be surprised if Broadcom basically said "ok, you can have X units this quarter" and that's that. Not like RPi can easily replace Broadcom and not like Broadcom doesn't have demand from other potentially more important customers to meet.
