Heated Body
It has been experienced by certain users that due to iPhone 4 radio, the phone starts heating up after some time. Since the outer back of the phone is done up in glass, the heat can be felt more clearly. However, with a firmware update this issue can be resolved!

Terrible Reception
This is what can be defined as the ‘death grip’. It means losing the reception or signal when the antenna gets accidentally covered by your hand. This has been seen in several phones. But the basic problem with iPhone 4 is that it doesn’t boast of a great reception to start with.

Battery Run Out
The iPhone 4 battery usage time is 6 hours 14 minutes which is quite impressive on paper! The battery burns itself out just after 13 hours of moderate usage! This issue too has been seen in previous phones like SPRINT HTC EVO 4G and iPhone 3GS.

Screwed Up Screen!
There have been some reports about seeing yellow spots on the screen display of iPhone 4. Apple has indeed taken the innovative path with the use of 3.5-inch, 960-by-640 IPS LCD screen [no other electronic product is using this specification]. But the yellow spots on iPhone 4’s screen display are indeed a reality too which needs to be checked!

Wobbly Proximity Sensor
The proximity sensor of iPhone 4 becomes a bit wobbly especially when you restore the phone from a back up of an earlier iPhone. The phone hangs up in the middle of calls due to this proximity sensor issue. It can be resolved by setting your iPhone 4 as a new phone in iTunes!

These five possible bugs in iPhone 4 may or may not survive as it all depends on Apple’s innovation and technology!
