What is the big deal that makes the iPhone so behind for you?
I didn't say the iPhone 5 was so far behind the S3... they are quite comparable. The S3, however, is older and *much* cheaper (when first released, only slightly cheaper). The S4, HTC One, Nexus 4, Note 2/3, and other Android phones have even more features and advancements, but the biggest edge is *choice*. If you like a 4 inch screen and non-removable battery, and preset layouts you can't change, then the iPhone 5 might be a great choice versus some of the other guys. But what if you want a smaller or bigger screen, battery you can remove, the ability to heavily optimize/customize, different keyboards, and so on? Don't take my word for it - look at market share. Consumers are increasingly choosing other options. What happens when and if some of these competing phones start to sell for $300-$400 *full price*? It will make it that much harder for people to plunk down almost twice as much for an iPhone.
