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

Continuing reception issues aside, the iPhone 4 is the best iPhone yet, and it's still one of the best smartphones on the market. After 4 years, the competition is catching up though, and we've seen this before with Apple.
Pros:
- Beautiful design
- sharp display
- Facetime
Cons:
- Not a phone you want to drop
- reception and call quality iffy

There's something a little surreal about seeing "Verizon" in the upper left corner of an iPhone's screen. It signifies something monumental for those who have been waiting more than three years to get an iPhone that works on Verizon Wireless' network.
Pros:
- 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

Review: Apple Verizon iPhone 4
After years as an iPhone customer on AT&T, I forgot what it was like to have a reliable, working phone. But over the weekend, when I called buddies with both an AT&T iPhone 4 and subsequently a Verizon iPhone 4, we could immediately tell the difference.
Pros:
- It's a better phone, period
- More likely to pull a signal, even indoors - this could change the way we converse at bars
- Hot-spotting is well-integrated and very easy to use
- Has a whiter, slightly better-looking display
Cons:
- Slow data transfers compared to the AT&T iPhone
- Sluggish app installs take away from the App Store's instant gratification
- Video streams are compressed more heavily, so Netflix and YouTube are uglier
- No simultaneous voice and data transmissions thanks to the limitations of CDMA

It took me a long time to jump on the bandwagon, but here I am
This is not actually a bad phone, and its sound quality is miles ahead of my 6G iPod Classic. I had two Android phones before this, and one of them was constantly hanging and crashing. Except for its crappy reception, this thing does what it says, and paired with good headphones, it sounds sweet.
Pros:
- A smartphone your mum can use
Cons:
- Like nearly all phones, its battery life is too short
- The back scratches easily, like all Apple products

Even today I still wouldn't mind an iPhone 4. It's a very good phone, maybe not the best but it has most of the features of an iPhone 4S/5 and its a gorgeous design. I know quite a few people who still have the iPhone 4 and they love it.
Pros:
- Great design
- iOS 6
- features
- retina display
Cons:
- No Siri
- some features won't work because of age
