With a LED lit LCD screen improving battery life and following Apple's green agenda. And it is marketed with a retina display meaning at a distance of 12 inches it produces the most detail the human retina can process. The iPhone 4 features two 5 mega pixel cameras one in the front and one in the back. The one in the front is for Face Time where people can chat face to face over Wifi connectivity. And the camera that can record HD videos in 720p with a LED flash light. The most noticeable change is the design which Johnathan Ive re-designed with chemically strengthened alluminocilicate glass covering the internal components. With a stainless steel frame that serves as an antenna. There was a problem with the antennas in the phones creating an uproar with the customers as they where loosing reception. So Apple responded with a case program that gave out free cases for customers that where loosing signal. Although there was some animosity against apple for the signal problem it was still ranked highest among smart phones in numerous electronic magazines.
