No SoC update, it's the same one as in the current Switch. The 4K and DLSS rumours didn't come true, unfortunately.

With that, if you already have a Switch, don't bother upgrading.

I hope the new dock is compatible with the old model and they sell the dock separately.

You can already buy just the dock for about $70 USD. I can’t imagine they’d not do the same here.

can you not just use a usb to ethernet adapter with the old dock?

Yes, I was able to use one without issue.

How do we know that? What is to say they won't announce that next week? Was there something specific about the 6th July being the date we would find out whether the rumours were true?

Why would they muddy their messaging by announcing half the features, and then later announcing another set of features? Think about how much marketing confusion that would lead to; most people wouldn't have any idea what the thing actually does.

They could be ashamed of the hardware difference: except for pro-sumers, having segmented hardware is a net loss for consumers owning the current hardware: they'd just have an inferior product.
