I was tired of being left out. Indy games always release iOS first and sometimes don't even port to Android. Cool apps that come out like Hyperlapse are also iOS first. Even Google's own apps release features an iOS before Android. Device fragmentation plagues Google's apps. Hardware-wise, they're all more or less the same.

In terms of iPhone 5s vs. 6 it's really just the timing. I was disappointed with this year's Google I/O and felt I should get the newest device.

An iPhone 5 with better hardware is not too shabby, and finally NFC is nice. I'm planning to get an Android after my iPhone 5 is totally wrecked (any week soon) and start developing for it.

It's also odd to switch from a (likely) higher resolution screen on Android to a lower resolution screen on the iPhone 6 (the iPhone 6 is about 720p... Moto G territory).
