Pros

- Retina Display: The new Retina display provides the highest possible display output with a massive 326 pixels per inch and to prevent scratching and fingerprint marks it also has a special treated protective screen
Cons
- Poor reception: The antenna that surrounds the iPhone 4 can be prone to quite serious reduction in reception quality when held in a certain way
- Heat issues: This is not a major issue but it has been noted that the handset can get quite hot when power hungry apps are used
- Low battery life: The power requirements of the new iPhone 4 means that the battery life of the handset is much shorter than the iPhone 3GS especially when the device is using apps over a sustained period
