Why does my iPhone 4 have a different Model # than those on display at Appl

Why does my iPhone 4 have a different Model # than those on display at Apple?
I noticed while in my local Apple store today that their iPhone 4's have a higher Model # in their Settings --> About screen. When I compare mine vs. theirs, why is my Model # lower?

My biggest fear is that Apple will secretly correct the hardware issues on the iPhone 4 & screw over everyone who bought it early by not doing a recall since it would cost them an arm & a leg.

See screenshots of both units compared:

*Let me clarify what I was mentioning - which has nothing to do with the iPhone model numbers.*

Let me explain, again:

See screenshot above; I'm simply referring to the software version number.

When compared with the iPhone 4 and iPod Touch & iPads at the Apple store on display, I noticed a slight difference. It seems that Apple actually makes a seperate version of the software for the store display units & the software being displayed at the stores doesn't include Parental Controls, Passcode Lock, Reset / Erase All, and basically all of the other things that little hoodlems have traditionally toyed with while passing thru the Apple retail stores.
