A touch underbaked. Edible, but you'll want a strong coffee alongside.
Summary
PINE64 has discontinued the PinePhone Pro due to low sales and lack of viability for continued production. Refurbished units will go on sale at the end of the month as a final opportunity to purchase. The standard PinePhone (A64) will continue to be sold for approximately two more years. PINE64 is shifting focus from ARM products to RISC-V architecture, as evidenced by recent product launches like the Oz64, Star(/Pro)64, and Alpha One. There is also interest in running local LLMs on their SBCs. No new PinePhone models are currently planned.
