A gamer has discovered that the Xbox One S All-Digital Edition console actually has an eject button. The discovery has intrigued Xbox One S fans, as many possessed the system and didn't have the foggiest idea about the eject ability was ever there.
Microsoft and Xbox introduced the Xbox One S Digital Edition as a less expensive version of the standard Xbox One S, which can use physical game disks. By removing the disk tray and attached functionality, Microsoft was able to bring down the cost of the console while still providing a brilliant gaming experience for fans.
A Reddit user by the name of nbelievablytired shared their discovery with other Xbox fans. In a photograph they snapped of a partial teardown, a portion of the Xbox's connections can be seen. A speedy glance across the ports on the photograph shows that one is clearly marked eject. For reasons unknown, this is the same connection that's present on Xbox One S consoles that include the disk drive. Rather than removing it, the port was simply left in place, yet not connected to anything.
As users in the comments have indicated, this was probable a cost-saving measure by Microsoft. It makes more sense to leave the internal systems of the Xbox One S Digital Edition the same as that of the standard release, rather than going through the difficulty of removing something that's normally inaccessible anyway. Accessing the inner parts of a console usually means voiding the warranty, so it's not something the average user would have at any point attempted and subsequently seen.

Unfortunately, console modders have previously attempted to wire an external disk tray to the Xbox One S Digital Edition through this connection with no karma. Modifying the console to use a disk might actually make the way for pirated games, which may be one reason for it. Additionally, assuming players had discovered that an external disk drive could be connected, it may have driven some to attempt and mod the digital version rather than buying the more expensive console. Either of these scenarios are something that Microsoft would almost certainly attempt to avoid.
While teardowns can accompany risks, in both voiding warranty and potential damage to a system, they often reveal little eccentricities like this. Xbox has stowed away interesting things inside its consoles previously, similar to Master Head appearing on the circuit board of both the Xbox Series X and the Xbox One X. There have also been similar easter eggs on Xbox controllers and even those from other companies, similar to the Nintendo Switch Ace Controller. Thankfully, for those who are wary of damaging their systems, fans like nbelievablytired are around to share their discoveries with everyone.
