Why are there so many iPhone nazis in a forum dedicated to alternatives to iPhones? WTH are you trying to prove? That you are superior and that your choice to not even keep your 4s for a year isn't a mistake? Here you are, drinking koolaid and making excuses for apple holding back. When they add those old features to the 5s, you'll drink it right up. No wonder you get called isheep!? Baaaaaaad! Very baaaaaddd!
Oh, and before you ask why androids would be on this forum, I have an iPad 3 and many of us androids have iPads. We know it's the best tablet out, so there is proof we are not as indoctrinated as you poor souls. When we see a good thing, we buy it.

As someone who has used Android phones starting years ago, and up until now due to my job, there's no doubt in my mind that Android is still a vastly inferior operating system to iOS. Regardless of specs/features/etc, iOS is simply much smoother and easier to use for myself, and clearly a plethora of other people. I don't thin there should be an iOS vs Android war, really, because each person should make up their own mind after trying each OS, as I did.
You obviously haven't tried jellybean. I have cm10 running on my gs3 and compared it directly to iOS via iPad 3 and 4s. Gs3 with JB equals both iPad and iPhone with screen transition smoothness and snappiness.
Gs3 with JB exceeds iPhone 4s with web browsing smoothness but equals ipad3.
Apps open just as fast if nt faster with JB as they do iOS.
Maps on gs3 is much faster than iOS. GPS locks so much faster on my gs3. Camera is just as fast, but many more options. Pictures look identical from both gs3, iPad, and iPhone.
The only place gs3 loses is build quality. Maybe the iPhone 5 WILL be faster and smoother? web browsing sucked on my 4s...
