JACKSON, Miss.--An announcement on the anticipated iPhone 5 is expected today. Though it is known officially by a technical designation, those awaiting the device seem to prefer the "iPhone 5" moniker.

We called Apple stores in Mississippi and they're not talking until the official announcement is made. That announcement may also include word about the new iPod, but analysts do not believe we'll hear today about an improved iPad.

We may expect a larger screen, a radio, and numerous other improved features on the phone. As far as connectivity, improvements may include the ability to connect to a newer, faster network.

You can get more info at Apple.com when the announcement hits.
