Apple's new iPhone 4 has been redesigned for Verizon Wireless, with the smartphone sporting a new antenna optimized for CDMA networks.
The new antenna layout includes four band slits on the left and right sides, which is different from AT&T's iPhone 4, which has one slit on top and three on either side.
"It's specifically designed for CDMA [Code Division Multiple Access]," said an Apple spokesperson at the Verizon Wireless press event in New York.
The iPhone 4 offered by AT&T has been subject to reception problems, which many concluded resulted from holding the phone in a certain way. Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO, famously recommended that users not hold the phone that way in order to avoid the problem.
