Is that why the iPad 4 smoked the nexus 10 in most benchmark scores?Except when compared to the exynos 5250 it stands no match.

Why are you quoting something that compares the Razr Maxx instead of the Razr Maxx HD? The Razr Maxx was released all the way back in January 2012. The Razr Maxx HD was released in November 2012. The Razr Maxx used more power hungry LTE chips than what is available now for the Razr Maxx HD.
If you actually read the review for the Razr Maxx where they also tested with just using 3G at http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/31/motorola-droid-razr-maxx-review/, you would have seen:
And if you read the review for the Razr Maxx HD where they used LTE, you would have seen:

These are numbers that Apple cannot match and all on a larger screen, too. The Razr Maxx HD even with LTE far surpasses the battery life of the iPhone 5. And if you use 3G, the Razr Maxx HD would further increase it's tremendous lead.

Let's put the benchmarks a side for a min a look at reality for a bit.
Don't forget the scrolling and pinch to zoom lag the Nexus 10 has, it's a combination of Jelly Bean 4.2+ and the unnecessary amount of PPI from the screen that causes these type of problems, even with that Exynos 5250 Dual-core 1.7 GHz Cortex-A15 CPU.
Apple's Retina iPad CPUs are done properly; custom Dual Core SoC w/ "X" boosted Quad Core GPU, when it's really needed for heavy graphical intensive loads.
I concur. Sometimes I want to know who's the person behind the chip design in Apple, he's a remarkable talent for designing all these chips that work seamlessly with the software so that iOS devices become a fluid experience.
Did you forget that both those phones have bigger batteries then the iPhone 5? Of course they are gonna last longer.
OMG, of course they have bigger batteries. Don't tell me, you are going to use the Apple loyalist excuse that because it is not exactly the same as an iPhone, the iPhone is better.
No what we are saying is look at the battery life apple is able to squeeze out of a battery that's effectively half as powerful.
And running a screen half the size.
Half? It has just under 200,000 less pixels ( from the over approx 940,000 of the razr maxx HD). Apple was able increase screen size, increase power draw and performance and get the same if not better battery performance from the same battery as the 4s. You can't deny apples power efficiency. What we can gripe at is why they continue to want thinner when all we want is longevity.
The new battery technology is already discovered, it's just a matter of throwing money at it to make it market ready.
The iphone 5 has no where near the power of a core 2 duo of any type. I suggest you try some other benchmarks.
Apple doesn't NEED to change anything. Heck, they could even REMOVE functionality from the iPhone 5, change the colour of the aluminium and introduce it as an iPhone 5S and it would still break records.Because your definition of "innovation" is a pathetically gray area that will never be satisfied.
They could radically change battery tech and you would just complain that 3 days isn't enough... why not 5? Or 7?
The fact is: Apple has no NEED to substantially change anything at this point. There was a 3 week WAIT to even get an iP5 until a month ago... nearly a quarter after launch!
Well said.Battery tech hasn't changed much ever since lithium ion became a thing. Wouldn't it be nice to have your phone fully charge in an hour? half an hour? 15 minutes? How about a mobile phone battery that lasts a week? Two weeks? A month? If everyone sat around with the attitude that "it's good enough as is, why bother trying to make it better?" then we never would've had some of the great technology we have now.
I'm not saying it's Apple's job to do something about battery tech (any company could get behind this, and I would encourage them to), but it's the point the OP makes; Apple has all this money sitting around. Why not create something that can make your own devices even more special and unique?

Why would they, my battery last a day and a half on my 5 using it regularly with LTE always on and being used
It's amazing how people can just agree with this crappy battery life. When I was in engendering school, they were talking about carbon nanotubes batteries. That can last 10 times as long. Apple needs to do a lot of things. Battery, UI change, storage etc.
I agree with OP, i can't understand the nay sayers here about the battery capacity.
The iPhone has been stuck at 1400ish mAh battery capacity since the iphone 4. They made it 20% thinner, they have the cash to at least increase it to 2000ish mAh. They already have the iOS efficiency, why not increase the battery capacity.
The simplicity of iOS, combined with almost 300k choices of Apps, it will be no doubt the iPhone would sell 5-10 millions more if it has more battery capacity. Even if it's back to 4S thickness, increase in battery capacity is always a good thing.
It means more customization could be added, to iOS interface. And for user, they can enjoy more from the iPhone, in every situation.
And others drain their iPhone 5 before the day is over because they use it more. I can guarantee you I can drain an iPhone 5 in 3 hours. And others don't want to be a OCD pluggist every night.
With all that money just sitting around collecting dust, why doesn't Apple use it to bring to market new battery technology that is more advanced than lithium ion? You know, the new battery technology that always seems to be just around the corner like full charges in 5 minutes with 10 times the capacity of lithium ion? The only component Apple seems to spend R&D money on is the A5/A6 processors. You would think they could throw a few billion in R&D money around new battery technology.
