I think software and hardware wise the iPhone and iOS are pretty strong. Could there be improvements? Certainly. There's only so much you can add though.
Software yes, hardware not so much.

I think iOS 7 will be fresh departure from iOS 6.
For one, Scott Forstall is no longer at Apple. His responsibilities are now handled by Eddy Cue, Jony Ives, and Craig Federighi - three very talented people.

OP download a few new apps and get yourself a new case and you will feel better.
I will probably stick with my black iPhone 5.
I have ordered a slick all black thin snap on case and my iPhone 5 is unlocked.
Can't beat that.
Will never leave unless the device that Apple makes doesn't work well. Right now, I am happy. Don't understand why people want the design to change when it's great right now. Want a bigger screen, go get an android. Want a widget, go get an android. Want customization, get an android or jailbreak. For me, iOS is fine as it is.
People complain about apple not innovating but I don't consider what Android has been doing as innovating as well. NFC is not innovation. Packing in bigger battery to last all day isn't innovation. Innovation is starting something new and creating a whole new category. NFC wasn't what an iPod was for the music industry. Until NFC is accepted all over the world, it isn't innovation.
When I had ICS for a few days, I first felt liberated by its easy to change interface. Then I realized all I actually wanted was icons on the front screen (btw, the worst part about touchwiz is it is one row short on the SGSIII). Then I realized I was never using the widgets and none of them were remotely useful. Then I realized I hated touchwiz and switched to Novalauncher. Then I realized that the best widget (touchwiz weather widget) was not available in Novalauncher. Soon there were icons on my screen I didn't put there through the free version of Novalauncher so I switched back to touchwiz.
In the end, I couldn't get used to the SGSIII and I felt that I missed the iPhone interface. As a result I went back to the iPhone 5. I don't care what new things it does, I like iOS for what it is even if it isn't the next big thing. After all, OS X hasn't really been the "next big thing" ever while windows has released three iterations since OS X's official launch.
Why not just put a row of icons on your Android device?
No widget was remotely useful but novalauncher didn't support your favorite?
Seriously considering going back to BB as my work phone. Just gotta get my hands on one.
Yeah, Blackberry is a great phone, I use all Apple and I want a Z10
Dumping an entire "ecosystem" (to reuse a tired word)?
It would take a LOT to make me start over.
Apple is impressive as long as they provide timely security updates (and feature) to their customers. Giving the finger to the old consortium of carrier sand manufacturers who say 'screw you no updates'.
Moto, LG, HTC, Sammy, etc aren't even an option until then.
I realize that's a really, really low bar for expectation. But oddly many are struggling with it.
I'm definitely intrigued like I was with Android. I just have a really hard time justifying breaking the Apple ecosystem after my android experience.
Curious how stable iOS is too android.
Take a screen shot of your diag like this.

And your latest crash screen like this

Then compare to the uptime of your Android device

iPhone has been up 7-8 days without a required reboot. Android 108 days with reboot....maybe you have different results?

Actually, you're comparing Apples to Oranges (pardon the pun). The iOS diagnostic logs you're screen-capping capture all kinds of information, from low memory to app crashes. Not just critical, whole-phone-crashing OS level events.
And you're comparing that to the uptime on your Android phone, which does not account for any individual app crashes or non-OS-critical system events. It just counts how many days since you've rebooted the whole phone.
That said, I regularly go without ever having to reset my iPhone or iPad unless I do an update. My current uptime on my iPhone 5 and iPad 3 is 10 days, but only because 10 days ago, iOS 6.1 came out.
If crash logs are what you want to compare, then you should run an app like aLogcat and compare its output to the iOS diagnostic data. I think you'll be surprised at what you find.
I had to reboot my Mom's android phone twice a day. I have never had to restart my iPod touch 5, so I compare actual performance, not logs, plus those logs show everything such as battery low, memory low, or even a simple App crash. BTW the reason it shows no recent springboard crashes is because the springboard hasn't crashed yet.
If you're not impressed by most modern day smart phones u just have a lack of respect for technology and the people create these devices. At the end of the day it's a phone. Boring! you might be spending too much time with your electronics.I love my iPhone as I do the rest of my apple products. And I'm not jacking for some "cool new feature " or anything like that. All I want them to do is to make me feel like I'm hurting a new device when I buy a new device. The OS is just boring to me. I love the way everything works, but the tiled layout is starting to make me feel like I'm using an "easy to use" phone. If they don't freshens hinges up a bit I'll have to switch phones. I love my apple ecosystem and iCloud and how everything about iOS is so well laid out... But it's just getting so boring. I'd never thought I'd be saying any of this, especially this soon. Thank you for bumping up the specs, speed, camera,screen size, but just freshen the iOS up.
