  • Better networking with WiFi now 802.11.b/g/n/ac
  • Bluetooth 4.2/BLE
  • Gigabit Ethernet (although limited to 300Mbps)
  • For Makers, the Raspberry Pi Foundation has made it easier to incorporate the RPi3B+ into end products, keeping the RPi3B+ in production until at least January 2023.
  • A "modular compliance certification" for the wireless module is also provided.
