So, I have an iPhone 4, and I've recently seen that the only phisical difference between the iPhone 4 and the 4S is that the 4S has two antenas (one black line in each corner of the phone) and the 4 has only one (one black line in each of the bottom corners of the phone only). But I have a 4, and it seems to have two antennas. So, what's up with that?
iPhone 4, iOS 5.1.1
The 4 is a CDMA or GSM phone. In your case, the Sprint iPhone for is CDMA only.
The 4S is a world phone which means it is CDMA and GSM.
Technicaly the 4S has four antenna (CDMA, GSM, Wi-FI, and Bluetooth) while the 4 has three antennas (CDMA, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth).
All iPhone 4's have three black lines on the metal band. Two at the bottom where the bottom piece encompassing the speaker, microphone, and dock connector meets the sides and one at the top next to the head phone jack. The piece across the bottom is not an antenna.
Ok, Thanks for the information, and the correction too. But My iPhone 4 has four antennas. Sorry for the confusion. My phone has four black lines on the metal band. So, why is it like that?

The simple answer, because that is the design of the phone. All 4S devices have those same four black lines.
It is simply a different and supposedly improved antenna design over the iPhone 4.
Why does my Sprint iPhone 4 have two antennas like the 4S does?
