A 3D rendering of what a possible next-gen iPhone might look like based on online parts leaks by Blackpool Creative director Bryce Haymond.
Apple is set to announce a next-generation iPhone at 10am PDT in San Francisco Wednesday morning. As is typical before these media launch events, rumors about what Apple is expected to announce have leaked at an ever-increasing pace. We've already detailed most of the information out there about what appears to be called the "iPhone 5," but more purported details have been leaked in the last several hours, particularly about new iPods.

Searching for "iPhone 5" on Apple's website began returning non-functioning results early this morning, according to 9to5Mac, a sure sign that this will be the official name. The device is expected to feature 4G LTE compatibility, an updated processor, a taller 4" screen, and a newly developed connector to replace the decade-old 30-pin Dock connector. That connector is reportedly codenamed "Lightning," according to 9to5Mac sources. It will reportedly be able to sync much faster than the current USB 2.0-based Dock connector, likely using USB 3.0, which was recently introduced on the latest Macs.
Some developers digging into iOS 6 have also discovered a few possible features which may be announced today or show up when iOS 6 ships, according to iMore. One is support for near-field communications, or NFC. The technology is mostly associated with mobile payment systems, but as developer Will Strafach noted, it can be used for much more than just payments. His delve into iOS 6 reveals that engineering verification test (EVT) models of the iPhone 5 did in fact contain NFC hardware, and he believes it would be unlikely that Apple would remove such a feature in the final design.
