To ensure you find the perfect solution to recover lost data from your iPhone, iPod and iPad, you should identify the exact model of your device. This article will be divided into 3 parts:
Part 1: How to Distinguish iPhone 4S from iPhone 4

Part 2: How to Distinguish iPhone (GSM) from iPhone (CDMA)
There are also two types of iPhone depending on mobile phone standards: iPhone (GSM) and iPhone (CDMA). iSkysoft iPhone Data Recovery supports both iPhone (GSM) and iPhone (CDMA).
The biggest difference between iPhone (GSM) and iPhone (CDMA) is the SIM card tray. iPhone (GSM) will always have a SIM card tray. The image below shows difference between iPhone 4 (GSM) and iPhone 4 (CDMA)
Why No SIM Card for iPhone CDMA?
With a SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card, you can easily transfer your contact and calendar information to a new handset. However, CDMA operators provide their own service that stores user data. This service not only lets you swap over to a new handset without any hassle, but make it possible to recover contacts and other information even if their phone is lost.
