"This upcoming version has a new design with a significant change to its exterior. Our source claims that this new “slim” version uses a die-shrink treatment that reduces the size of the console, enough to validate a new design by Sony. It uses less voltage and therefore runs cooler. It’s also more lightweight because of it."
Additionally, this new model would try to ditch the awkward stand you have to balance the PS5 on when it lies on its side.
This is supposed to start being produced in Q2 2023 aiming for Q3 2023 release, so likely next holiday.
