Never knew the WiFi chip was external to the board. Makes complete sense since it's essentially wrapped in a Faraday cage.Here is where the original WiFi chip was positioned:
This is how it looks:
Compare to the new chip - the holes are different and thus support the idea of a new box.

Doing some fine work there, can't wait for E3.

Did someone say Faraday?
If the intention is to replace the OG XB1 rather than sell them alongside each other (apart from clearing old stock) then a rename is probably unnecessary. The "S" or "Slim" or whatever might be handy to refer to in the context of GAF conversations, but isn't really useful outside the enthusiast market.
I think there would have to be some sort of differentation in the naming between the models.
Depending, of course, on if it's just a "Slim" model or if it's a new generation of the XB1.
Selling a more powerful machine with the same name is suicide.
Are we sure it's going to be more powerful?
Especially not after the way Phil has been talking. Curious thing that could be nothing, but the FCC listing NDA on the second mystery device expiring right around when we are supposed to be getting the big Windows 10 Anniversary Update seems almost too coincidental. It just so happens to be the update that is supposed to be bringing UWP support to XBox as well as merging the Xbox and Windows 10 stores.Nope. But I can't imagine them "just" releasing a slim model. (Or at least I hope so)
I can't see them announcing anything more than an xbox slim this year given that its not even been two and a half years since the xbox one was released.
Microsoft revealed the xbox one just before E3 and then released in November of that year, they can't be releasing a new higher spec xbox one this year, and therefore it has to just be a slim.
If they do have a new machine coming then its E3 next year at the bare minimum.
Hey, ekim, you should have mentioned that gamepro.de was your source.
Those realizing that gamepro.de's news from today (who's author thought it's unnecessary to name any sources for "his" findings) was written after ekim's post here... well, thatwasthejoke.gif.
If they name it the Xbox 10 I want royalties.
From all names that I've read in the last days it's the one that makes the most sense.
Xbox 4K makes the most sense to me.

Yes, and it would please marketers and engineers alike. Because there are only 10 types of people.Those who understand binary, and those who don't.
Xbox 4K makes the most sense to me.
I wouldn't be surprised if a marketing guy on their team wants numerical parity in the name. I think their are better names like Xbox Next, Xbox 10 or Xbox One Pro
An Xbox One revision at this point makes an incredible amount of sense. The console currently available was designed for a totally different skillset which, although quickly abandoned before/after launch, is still hampering Microsofts market share and brand image.
A new xbox 1.5/slim/whatever is needed for a multitude of reasons. To name a few:
1. A fresh, new start. New marketing, games and features that showcase Microsoft is taking the console in a new direction.
2. Remove redundant features like HDMI in, maybe even the Kinect port.
3. Implement a slimmer, more cost effective design.
4. Upgrade CPU, GPU to improve better gaming performance. At least 100% capable of 1080p, 60fps. Let alone 4k. Average gamer cares about this more than you think.
5. Potentially make the NEW Xbox One Occulus Rift/Hololens etc. compatable right out of the box.
E3 2016 is shaping up to be a very important expo for the entire industry. Could very well illustrate where Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo plan to take gaming to in the next decade.

If Sony is, why not Microsoft as well? They are going to be left behind if they don't if the rumours about NX are true. In terms of hardware the Xbox One will be the weakest then. That can't be what MS wants.
Selling a more powerful machine with the same name is suicide.
If they're going the incremental upgrade path, they could keep the same naming as the 360.
Xbox One (base model)
Xbox One S (Slim, incremental upgrade)
Xbox One E (next incremental upgrade)
New Xbox
lol. remember when Wii U was going to be the most powerful console? With that bird demo?

is Wifi really that bad on the X1? I hear people talking about it here. I hard wire both of mine.

So Xbox One Slim.
I would love an aggressive name. Xbox Blast or Xbox Ultra. Getting that 90s console era vibe.
lmao...
Xbox Infinity
Xbox One 4k
Xbox 4k
Xbox The Real Genesis
Just a few!!!
So Ekim, where are we with all this info? Thread has grown a lot since I last checked, just wondering what the latest developments or whatever else you have dug up?
Well I found a photo of the chip at the Brazil FCC equivalent and some implications from it. (See somewhere on the last 2 pages)
Tom Warren (creamhackered here on gaf) teased an "updated Xbox One" here in this thread.
Errrm. That's it.
Thanks, but expected a bit from someone with your pedigree. LOL!!!
I had it on wireless and it was really bad before I decided to wire it.

What pedigree? lol
