Hardware differences between iPhone 4 and Verizon iPhone 4
Follow Discussion
Finally "ifixit" tear down Verizon iPhone 4, but I still can't find the differences between the 2 models. There should be some hardware replacement, because Verizon's one doesn't have the reception issues...

I have no idea if it has reception issues, but Verizon's network is better than ATT. By looking at the pics from iFixit, most of the PCBs in the Verizon iPhone are different in design, but use the same main components, the back cover is also different on the inside so its not interchangeable with ATT iPhone. The antenna design is also different and there is no sim slot.
I never expected them to be so different, I've looked at the pics as well.

What do you mean by better? Faster? Because as far as I know at&t still gives you the ability to browse and talk at the same time without connecting to wi-fi, and verizon doesn't.
I think the only better think is the network coverage...
I also think that they only fixed the deathgrip...

Today I read that even iPhone 4 from Verizon, has the death grip problem O_o I don't know whether to believe or not
Verizon's network is faster in terms of web browsing. Numerous reviews are out showing that verizon's iphone is faster at different locations of a given city. And Verizon is also offering the capability of using your iphone as a wi-fi hotspot, however I'm not sure if this is actually a new piece of hardware installed or just a network service.
