   You've somehow missed all their publicity about making Raspberry   
   Pis in the UK at Sony's factory in Wales?   
      
   https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2023/how-raspberry-pis-are-made-factory-tour   
      
   Granted not "all" are made in the UK (though that article claims   
   it's "the factory where almost every Raspberry Pi has been made"),   
   but it obviously isn't driving the price up that much, especially   
   as it includes their $5 RPi Zero boards.   
      
   But Raspberry Pi is clearly an outlier, compared to all the other   
   products made in China. Not needing to do assembly of their boards   
   in a case probably helps because that's where things get less   
   automated.
