Apple iPhone 4
Apple tried every shady trick in the book to cover up "antennagate", from blaming its customers for holding it wrong , to blaming it on its network signal attenuation algorithm , to playing down the severity by dragging other mobile vendors into the debate .
Pros:
- Zippy 1GHz processor
- Retina display is razor sharp
- One of the fastest cameras we've seen in a phone
Cons:
- The much-discussed antenna issue
- Design lacks the ergonomics of previous models
- Not a substantial performance bump from 3GS

- Beautiful design
- sharp display
- Facetime
Cons:
- Not a phone you want to drop
- reception and call quality iffy

- Solid 3G performance
- Personal hotspot feature
- Super-sharp Retina display
- Excellent camera and 720p camcorder
- Best-in-class App Store
Cons:
- Can't use voice and data simultaneously
- Doesn't support global roaming
- No 4G
