Id say more like a 2DS to go along with the 3DS. For the Mini.
Its a cheaper & more rustic design, more kid friendly switch version.

The last rumors of a new better Switch, I read where saying it might be a Switch 2.
Which seems very differnt than what Bloomberg is reporting, which sounds more like a New 3DS type upgrade to the Switch.

I wasn't talking about the cheaper version, but the "modest upgrade" which doesn't sound anywhere close to as substantial as the New 3DS upgrade; that one had better 3D, more buttons, more processing power for operating system and games. For Switch, it sounds like there will be only a few miniscule changes, plus Asriel's theory is sound that the Tegra chip will be modified to lock out piracy.

I'd like to see your source for Switch 2. You already mentioned the same thing in another thread and I forgot to ask you about the laughable idea of a Switch 2 that is supposed to launch anytime soon. It's likely a misinterpretation of the original rumor that specified that Nintendo doesn't plan an upgrade like the PS4 Pro. One interpretation of that is what is echoed by Bloomberg, that it won't be a more powerful version. The other interpretation is that it's much more powerful than the difference between PS4 and PS4 Pro, but yeah... that's a ridiculous expectation to have, because Switch 2 isn't going to happen anytime soon.

The Tegra chip vulnerability has already been patched

I see the upgrade using an X2: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=226632

Double the battery life on portable and double the power docked, we will call it the Switch+
