Switch Pro does seem to be coming. The FCC recently released some paperwork where Nintendo filed for a new Switch model, and the changes they requested were a new SoC, a new memory type, and a new motherboard. That info doesn't match the Switch Lite, as the Switch Lite is using the same memory as the current Switch. And that is on top of both Nikkei and Wall Street Journal saying it was in development.

No, Nintendo filed to make changes to their original model.  It’s like how the 360 had like 4 different types of chip configurations.  Console makers do this when they find ways to reduce cost.  The FCC report is just some modifications to the orginal, most likely to incorporate new methods to cut costs, not a new model.

edit:  it could mean very slight improvements, but it wouldn’t be enough for Nintendo to market it as a new model.
