More specifically, it seems there will be two variants of the same model, with the most obvious difference between them being the size of the hard drive
According to the FCC certificate, spotted by DualShockers, model CUH-1215A will feature a 500 gigabyte capacity, which is the same as current PS4 models. Model CUH-1215B, however, will feature a one terabyte hard drive.
Given how similar the new model numbers are to those of the existing PS4s, it is unlikely that the new models will be drastically different.
The second notable change is that the new models generate 230 watts of power, as opposed to the 250 watts of the original. Amperage has also changed from 2.3-9.95 A to 2.5.1.15 A.
Finally, the new models weigh 2.5 kilograms, instead of 2.8 kilograms.
