In anticipation of the up-and-coming launch of the new Verizon iPhone 4 in February 2011, Apple has now made its ordering pages available to the public on its website for both the 16GB and 32GB iPhones.
The Verizon iPhone 4 will be available to pre-order for existing customers of Verizon Wireless, and new customers will be able to order the Verizon Wireless iPhone 4 from the 10th of February 2011.
Pricing and Contract Details
Verizon Wireless has priced its iPhone 4 at $199 for the 16GB model and $299 for the 32GB model. All of the prices are based on a new two-year contract. This pricing strategy is consistent with the industry standards at the time, aiming to make the iPhone 4 accessible to a wide range of customers while ensuring a long-term commitment to Verizon’s services. The two-year contract model has been a common practice among carriers to subsidize the cost of high-end smartphones, making them more affordable upfront for consumers.

Features and Specifications
The Verizon iPhone 4 comes packed with features that were groundbreaking at the time of its release. It includes a 3.5-inch Retina display, which was one of the highest-resolution screens available on a smartphone, offering crisp and clear visuals. The device is powered by Apple’s A4 chip, ensuring smooth performance for a variety of applications.
One of the standout features of the iPhone 4 is its 5-megapixel rear camera, capable of shooting high-quality photos and 720p HD video. This made it a popular choice for users who wanted a reliable camera in their pocket. Additionally, the front-facing VGA camera enabled FaceTime video calls, a feature that revolutionized how people communicated over long distances.
The iPhone 4 also introduced a new design with a glass front and back and a stainless steel frame, which doubled as the device’s antenna. This design was not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional, although it did lead to some initial issues with signal reception, famously known as “Antennagate.”
Network and Availability
The launch of the Verizon iPhone 4 marked a significant shift in the smartphone market in the United States. Prior to this, the iPhone was exclusively available through AT&T, and the introduction of a CDMA version for Verizon opened up the device to a broader audience. This move was expected to attract a significant number of new customers to Verizon, many of whom had been waiting for an alternative to AT&T’s network.
The availability of the iPhone 4 on Verizon’s network also meant that users in areas with better Verizon coverage could finally enjoy the iPhone experience without compromising on network quality. This was particularly important for customers in rural or less densely populated areas where Verizon’s network was often more reliable.
