"The iPhone has long had a better camera than just about any Android phone, and it’s always had a better ecosystem of editing and sharing apps than any other platform."

I'm in neither camp, but after reading this I can't really take this review that seriously...

Why not? I'm not in a phone 'camp' either, but I have had both the flagship phones (currently (until Friday anyway), iPhone 5s and Nexus 5) for a long time, and the statement seems very accurate.

The camera and app ecosystem are, and have always been, better on the iOS end. OTOH, Android does manual data entry and voice dictation much much better.

They have different strengths and weaknesses.

Nexus 5 is hardly a flagship phone and it probably has one of the worst cameras in its price range.

Can't agree more! I'm so disappointed by Nexus 5, bad camera, bad display, worst ever speakerphone, terrible battery life (even with Android L, which is supposedly more energy efficient), and so on, but at this price, how can one complain?!

I'm switching from Android to iPhone largely because of the camera.
