Read this PS4 SS article the other day but wasn't so sure how reliable the source was given the story didn't pop up anywhere else.

It links to this recent Reddit PS4SS/PS5 leak.

A slimmer PS4 is a no brainer to me. Smaller process, less power, less heat, less cost, lower msrp. PS4 slim goes out with a bang at a $199 BF bundle deal, then PS4 SS enters at $249. Pro will probably drop as well to $349.
The mention that Pro won't follow suit makes me wonder a few things. Will Pro get a die shrink as well but keep the same shell due to how loud it can get, even with the newer more efficient models? Is PS not bothering because they have some room to move on the price already? Is PS5 coming soon enough they just don't see the point in spending money to make changes to Pro? Is PS5 going to be cheap enough that there is no point in Pro by mid to holiday 2020? Is Pro being replaced by a base model PS5?
I'd imagine PS4 SS would look a lot like PS4 Slim but the thinner top portion would also be on the bottom of the console as well instead of the thicker portion that exists now.
I remember seeing these 'leaked' concept pics quite a while back and look cool but not sure how the side drive would work unless it stood vertical.
