The iPhone 4 introduced the world to the ultra-crisp, Retina display. It had much better camera than its predecessors, a built-in gyro, and an all new front facing camera for video calls. iPhone 4 also featured a steel frame that doubled as an antenna.

Design

The iPhone 4 was available in black or white. However, white was released later due to manufacturing issues. The device was glass on the front and back with a steel frame which acted as an antenna. Because of the design, holding the phone a certain way would block reception. This issue became known as “Antennagate.”
