Raspberry Pi 3 has added a new version of the B+ model, upgrading a lot of things compared to Model B was launched back in 2016.
Specifically, the CPU clock from 1.2GHz to 1.4GHz, Bluetooth 4.1 to 4.2, Wi-Fi ac uses 5 GHz and upgrades Gigabit Ethernet from 100 Mbps to 300 Mbps. The Raspberry Pi 3 B+ price is $35 from its official website, but you can also buy a starter kit at $79.99 or an ultimate starter kit for at $89.99 from Amazon store.
The Raspberry Pi 3 model B+ size remains the same. It should be fully compatible with all previous cases and accessories for Model B.
