Not likely. We'll get an iOS 7 and OSX reveal today, and probably some MacBook updates, and that seems to be it. If an iPhone were going to be released today the news would have leaked by now.
No. Mountain of reasons why not but just off the top of my head:
- Why move from a September launch so it's the big new thing for Christmas?
- If they did launch today they'd either need to stick with a June/July window for iPhone 6 or have a 15 month gap between phones, hardly ideal.
- Several factors would make it far more likely for an A7 to be ready in September
- iOS7 will need several months of testing before launch and Apple have historically released iPhone's with a new OS version.
- If Apple are launching major changes to iOS and OS X today there's already a lot on the agenda. A new iPhone would get lost in the shuffle.
Of course there's always a chance it could come out but it's really unlikely from what we know right now.
Everyone forgets the only reason they shifted to a Fall release in 2011 was the because of the tsunami in Japan. They were forced to delay release. I see a pattern that they are trying to shift back to a summer release date. Not saying that it will be at WWDC. Just throwing it out there.

To give people something to look forward to. To give developers a chance to beta test and update their apps.
