The new 'F' mount will be a 'Z' mount which has a larger flange aperture diameter, which provides for ultra fast lenses - less than f/1.0, the contacts will be fewer because the lenses will have digital control rather than analogue and the contacts are being re-designed to be more reliable, with axial, rather than radial contact surfaces I think.

From what I have read Nikon are committed to a high tech adaptor from Z mount to F mount to enable *some* F mount lenses to be fully compatible with mirrorless and some or all of the less compatible lenses to be used with limitations forced by the characteristics of that lens.
