What if the Nikon D3400 gets replaced by a mirrorless APS-C camera with F-mount?

I have now received tips from two different sources about a potential Nikon D3400 camera replacement coming soon. Here is the previous D3xxx refresh timeline:
- The Nikon D3400 was announced in August 2016
- The Nikon D3300 was announced in January 2014
- The Nikon D3200 was announced in April 2012
We already have a new Nikon camera registered under the code name N1718 that is expected to have the same radio part as the D3400 with only Bluetooth (no Wi-Fi).
This is where it gets interesting – one tipster suggested that the new Nikon D3500 (D3600?) will be announced around Photokina and it will have a grip similar to the D5500/D5600. Another tipster told me today that the Nikon D3400 will be replaced by a mirrorless camera with F-mount – something like the Pentax K-01 from 2012 (see pictures above). There could be several benefits for Nikon if that last rumor about a cheap mirrorless camera with F-mount is true:
List of Nikon Z-Nikkor mirrorless lenses to be announced next week + Z to F lens adapter info

Here is the final list of Z-Nikkor lenses we will get next week with the new Nikon mirrorless camera:
More Nikon mirrorless camera rumors: free adapter, better sensor than the D850, shipping starts in November

I was told that Nikon will be introducing their new mirrorless cameras to several large distributors and camera chains next week. We can expect new leaks in the next few days. Stay tuned.
Here is another rumor posted here on NR by a reader (note: the source of this rumor is not a Chinese forum as some websites claim, the source is a NR reader who posted this in the comments section yesterday):
Weekly Nikon news flash #484

→ In July 2018, the Nikon D850 outsold again the Sony a7RIII camera at one of the biggest camera stores in Japan (Map Camera).

→ Nikkor 6mm f/5.6 fisheye lens listed for sale on eBay for $5,650.

→ New: A.I.Gigapixel from Topaz Labs – Topaz A.I. Gigapixel is a standalone application only (it does not work as a plugin or Topaz Studio adjustment) made for batch resizing your images. It uses the power of Topaz’s proprietary Artistic Intelligence engine to make sharper and clearer upscaled images than traditional upscaling tools.

→ NIKKOR NOCT PL MOUNT 58mm f/1.2 lens: a company called Zero Optik is rehousing old Nikon Noct lenses for the movie industry (via Cinoflex).

→ NJU System has expanded their services: they also now repair Nikonos RS 13mm lens ports that are scratched and not repairable or broken. They also have expanded the adaptors for said lenses to additional underwater housings.
Lexar is back in business, still looking for a cost-effective solution for XQD memory cards

Lexar is now officially back in business as reported by CameraJabber. Here is a quote from the company’s CEO Huabo Cai:
“I’m extremely excited to re-introduce the Lexar brand to our worldwide customers. Lexar is dynamic, has superior research and development capabilities, and has a deep understanding of our customer’s needs. At the same time, we are confident that we can expand the Lexar business successfully in different markets globally. For more than twenty years of innovative development, Lexar has been a world-renowned brand in the field of flash memory and trusted by bringing unparalleled storage experience and creating unequivocal value for business users and consumers.”
I contacted Lexar and asked them specifically about their XQD memory cards. This is the response I got:

An “exact mockup” of the back of the Nikon Z mirrorless camera based on a real picture
Here is an updated mockup of the back of the Nikon mirrorless camera based on a real leaked picture that I, unfortunately, cannot post online – the only note I will add is that the EVF bump/housing is slightly smaller/lower (click image for larger view):

Here are the details from my last post:
