The iPhone 4 is an iOS smartphone from Apple. As the forth generation phone from Apple, it features a 3.5-inch IPS LCD capacitive display, a 5-megapixel camera with autofocus, a front-facing camera, up to 32GB of internal storage, and an Apple A4 processor. Other differences from the previous model are a new glass design, a camera upgrade that allows 720p video recording, and the introduction of FaceTime which allows users to video call others that have the same feature.
