I like the holographic projector TV on the GS34, the iPhone 5 can't even compare to it..
That being said, I bought a GS3 at the end of October, returned it 2 weeks later and got the iPhone 5.
Reasons I did so were because of no Jellybean update, flimsy hardware, and i missed the Apple/iTunes ecosystem as I've had an Apple phone for 4.5 years now. I only had a few issue's with Android, was hoping to see if they were fixed in Jellybean but it never got rolled out from AT&T in time for me to try it out. Even so, I really loved how many features Android has out of the box that you need to jailbreak an iPhone to get, going to a stock iOS device after two weeks on Android really showed iOS's age, it truly is dated, and missing many many features still compared to Android, no matter what fanboy apologists say, iOS is sorely in need of a huge update. At the rate Google is improving Android, I fear they will race away from Apple if Apple doesn't start innovating and improving things at a faster than glacial pace.
Where Samsung fails and Apple excels is in hardware, the GS3 is made of thin flimsy plastic, and the buttons are far too easy to press, I kept having my volume turning up or down in my pocket just from sitting down or standing up, never had that happen with an iPhone.
At this point I wouldn't switch going either way, if you have an older Android device I'd definitely upgrade to the GS3, One X, or another flagship Android phone, and if you have a older iPhone, the 5 is a no brainer, better in every way, and will be much better once the jailbreak is released so we can put all its speed and power to use finally.
