iPhone 4

The iPhone 4 was available in black or white, with two available capacities (16 or 32GB). Currently, the iPhone 4 is available with 8GB capacity in either black or white. The iPhone 4 remains available with either GSM (AT&T and Sprint) or CDMA (Verizon) cellular technology. iPhone 4 included a slimmer, redesigned case with square edges and a glass back. On the back is a 5 megapixel camera with an LED flash to the right of the lens. A front-facing camera allows you to video chat using FaceTime. The 3.5" widescreen Retina display is so high-resolution that the human eye is unable to distinguish the individual pixels (or in other words, it looks sharp.)

iPhone 4S

The iPhone 4S is available in black or white, with three available capacities (16, 32, or 64GB). Although the iPhone 4S looks very similar to the iPhone 4, with the same slim glass and aluminum casing, Retina Display, and FaceTime camera, Apple updated many of the internal components. The iPhone 4S features a faster processor, better camera, Siri voice assistant, and an improved dual cellular antenna. There are no longer separate models for AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint.The easiest way to tell the difference between the iPhone 4S, Verizon iPhone 4, and the GSM (AT&T and Sprint) iPhone 4 is by looking for a SIM tray and where the breaks in the aluminum band appear.
