The iPhone 4 comes in black and white. The iPhone currently runs iOS 6.0.1 but originally shipped with iOS 4.0. The iPhone 4 is currently only available in an 8GB model from Apple. On February 7, 2011, Verizon released a CDMA iPhone 4, ending Apple's exclusivity agreemnent with AT&T. You can also buy it carrier unlocked from Apple's website. The device can also be bought from AT&T and Verizon, the two U.S carriers who carry the phone.

Camera & Photos
The iPhone 4 is the first iPhone to have dual camers, the front is a 0.3 megapixel camera and the back has an upgraded 5mp with an LED flash. You can now record HD 720p video.

Retina Display
The display on the iPhone 4 is designed by Apple and manufactured by LG. It features a multi-touchscreen with pixel density of 326 pixels per inch (ppi)and res. of 960x640. The screen is marketed as a "Retina Display", based that 300 ppi at 12 inches from the eye is the maximum amount of detail the human retina can distinguish.

Death Grip
Due to the placement of the antenna in the iPhone 4, users were experiencing a loss-of-signal when gripping the iPhone 4. Apple discovered the cause of the "dramatic drop in bars" was due to the formula they used to calculate signal strength. In an update to iOS, they fixed the formula. On July 16, 2010, Steve Jobs announced Apple would provide a free case to all iPhone 4 customers to increase signal strength. This was said to be corrected with the release of the CDMA iPhone 4, now available on Verizon. It is not known if the 8GB model sold by Apple still has this problem. After iOS 4.2 released, The Death Grip problem disappeared.

Bumper
An iPhone 4 Bumper is a ring of rubber that surrounds the edge of the iPhone 4. The Bumper is designed to strengthen the signal of the iPhone 4. A different design had to be made to the iPhone 4 bumpers to fit the CDMA version of the iPhone 4 which was released in early 2011. This is also available for the iPhone 4S as well.

Carriers
The iPhone 4 was originally released exclusively to AT&T in the U.S. On January 11, 2011, Verizon announced that they will be selling a CDMA version of the iPhone 4. They have added a 'Mobile Hotspot' feature allowing users to use the iPhone as a wireless hotspot for up to 5 connected devices. They also added a new antenna which they hoped would solve the 'Death Grip' problem.
