The iPhone 5 has superior hardware it is better than any phone in the market hardware wise.
The issue is iOS, Apple didn't offer anything major when they released iOS 6 over iOS 5 that makes it significant.
I remember Steve Jobs saying back in 2007 when he introduced the first iPhone that it was 5 years ahead of anything out there. And he was right I now see that Android is catching up fast.
In the past I used Samsung Note and hated it, then I used HTC One X it was okay over all but not great. And now I am trying vanilla Android and so far it is amazing. At least new to me in a way.

I am also a converted Apple loyalist, I've had almost every iPhone since the 3G, and I just got my Nexus about 5 days ago. Let me tell you, this little guy blows iPhones out of the water. I thoroughly believe that up to the iPhone 4 Apple had cornered the market with superior build quality, the best OS, apps, etc. These days they've really fallen off though, the iPhone 5 is a huge disappointment and iOS is so stale you could make croutons out of it.
Build quality on the N4 is stellar, the iPhone is still a hair better but this difference is now negligible. However, for me where it really shines is in the OS, it is now leaps and bounds more advanced than iOS. iOS hasn't changed much at all since they introduced it, and up to the iPhone 4 it was a great system, but nowadays iOS is left in the dust. Spending a week with Jelly Bean I had to go on my old iPhone to retrieve some things and it felt ancient.
-A Happy N4 user.
I always hated the fact that Apple (with iPhone/iPod and others stuff) limited you on almost everything. Customization for me is everything and iOS just doesnt let you do anything....
I believe that the Apple fall started with the 4S when people expected something big after 4 and go nothing and now with 5 that again the changes was not that big.
For the past 2 years i'm telling all my friends that Apple is slowing loosing market share and the rest of the companies will take over..... Not long from now when Apple wont have those huge lines before each release.
There is a trade off to everything. I am having fun customizing the N4 the way I like it and over time I am getting the hang of finding everything... but IOS is rock solid and smooth and IMO so intuitive in learning the whole phone and there is a plus with not much ability to change some things and especially no variances in features from one carrier to another with their version like sense and touchwiz as well as hardware differences because it's all Apple.
I am saying that from an IT standpoint ... I love giving users IOS devices and we pretty much allow only IOS devices. Android devices I would not want to support on our users lol. For enterprise I think it really doesnt get better if you can keep everyone on IOS. If we did deploy Androids, I would lock it down so hard you couldnt do wallpaper changes anyways lol... which users dont really need to be customizing so much,
All apple needs to do is allow little updates... add a couple of widgets maybe, definitely increase the screen size proportionally to 4 to 4.3 or4.5" and that would make all the difference.
