On my iPhone 4S there's a front facing camera, then the speaker, but what is that line above the speaker?

Proximity sensor. You probably have a white model. It's on the black ones too, it's just harder to see.

It detects when your holding your phone close to your head so it shuts off the screen and you can't press buttons on accident. When you move the phone away from your head again the screen will come back on.
