Not sure what you mean by 4G.
Either HSPA+ or LTE.
(I've given up telling people that HSPA+ is a 3G technology.)

I wouldn't think Apple could have a single phone for the USA market if it required CDMA, GSM, and different LTE frequencies.
While the phone is CDMA-only, the Verizon iPhone uses a dual-mode GSM/CDMA chip. That's precedent for the iPhone 4S/5 to have a dual-mode chip.
That's one reason why the rumor that Sprint got an exclusive on the iPhone 5 is odd. There's no particular reason to limit the phone to a CDMA network except of course for lots and lots of money.
