The iPhone 4 features a redesigned structure , designed by Jonathan Ive. Most notably , the bulges of the back panel as well as the band between the front & back are gone & have been replaced with flattened surfaces. The redesign reflects the utilitarianism & uniformity of existing Apple products, such as the IPad & the iMac. The only remnant of the previous generations of iPhone is the general layout of the device; the distinctive metal structure of the iPhone4 is more reminiscent of the 3G & 3GS. The overall dimensions of the iPhone 4 have been reduced from its predecessor. It is 4.5 inches ( 110mm) high, 2.31 inches (59mm) wide & 0.37 inches (9.4mm) deep, compared to the iPhone 3GS, which is 4.55 inches (116mm) high, 2.44 inches (62mm) wide, & 0.48 inches (12mm) deep; making the iPhone 4 24% thinner than its predecessor, the iPhone 3GS.

The i Phone 4 is structured around a stainless steel frame which both acts as the primary structure for the device, & additionally acts as the iPhone 4's antennae. The stainless steel enclosure features three slits that divide the band into three sections; the left section of band acts as the Blue tooth , Wi-Fi , & GPS & antenna , & the right & lower bands sections act as the antenna for GSM & UMTS connectivity, There is some debate as to whether or not not this causes issues with signal strength & availability, The act of touching the gap between the two antennas with an UN- gloved hand potentially bridges these two separate antennas , leading to poor signal reception.
The internal components are situated between two panels of aluminosilicate glass , described by Apple as being " chemically strengthened to be 20 times stiffer and 30 times harder than plastic , " theoretically allowing it to be more scratch resistant and durable than the previous models.

Display
The display on the iPhone 4 is designed by Apple and is manufactured by LG, it features an LED back lit LCD capacitive touchscreen with a pixel density of 326 pixels per inch (ppi) on a 3.5 inches (8.9 cm) (960-by-640) display, each pixel is 78 micrometers in width. The display has a contrast ratio of 800:1 . The screen is marketed by apple as the "Retina display," based on the assertion that a display of approximately 300 ppi at a distance of 12 inches (305mm) from one's eye is the maximum amount of detail that the human retina can process.
