I am going to play along on the assumption that you are being sincere. I have owned every iphone, as well as a 5 month period with the Galaxy Nexus and 3 week period with the Galaxy S3. I will list the reasons why the iphone 5 works better for ME than the Galaxy S3.
1. I do not like amoled displays. I love the bright true whites, accurate colors, and crispness of the iphone display. I do not like what I perceive to be over saturated, cartoon like colors of the amoled display. It bothered me that I could take a picture outdoors, and everything from the grass, to the sky, would look so overdone on the GS3 yet that same pic looked natural on my computer, iphone, etc.
2. My battery life on the S3 was poor at best. I am not one to carry around spare batteries, or dim my display to a very low level of brightness so this was an issue for me.
3. I could not use the S3 to video record at loud venues like concerts. The sound was completely distorted and unusable. That was very disappointing to me. My two buddies with S3's had the same experience.
4. Size. I am 6'8" tall with pretty large mits and I still found one-handed usage to be challenging. This was a turnoff to me despite liking the large screen.
5. A fair amount of my go-to apps are not available on android's platform. In searching for them, I found that the developers had no intention of making them available to android. This was a negative.
6. Lag was definitely more noticeable on the S3. Not saying there was a ton, but noticeable compared to the iphone.
7. Personal preferences. I prefer the keyboard, photo gallery, and texting on the iphone. Yes you can get custom everything on the android but in the end I was left searching for anything that replicated the iphone on these three things and was unable to. The versions that claimed to be identical fell way short.
8. As much as iTunes can be a pain in the ass, it also made backing up everything on my phone a one click process. I like that fact. I do not root or rom so things like titanium backup were not a use to me.
There you have it. Just my view on it.
Lol I am 5 7 and can hold my epic and my sis s3 easily with one hand
