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.
Yes to get 'full functionality' you will need AFS lenses. The older screwdriven AF lenses and MF lens will meter with the adapter but wont AF.
