Expect the next iPhone to be 4G LTE compatible, a report released Friday said.

There, the Cupertino, Calif., tech company is expected to unveil its sixth-generation iPhone, which is rumored to have a larger screen and be thinner than previous generations of the device. The phone is also expected to have a smaller dock connector than its first five versions.
