We'll have to wait for testing, but the specs are definitely better than the S3 if you don't take actual size in to account.
The only increase in cost is the upgrade to LTE, which all carriers charge more for LTE vs 3G data anyway, regardless of what phone you use. I don't see the point of that argument either.

hmm lets see, my GS3 isa 32gb with a 64GB SD chip, so 96GB for me = win over iphone
I have 8mp camera = same as iphone
Display is 306ppi vs iphone 326ppi = win for iphone But doesn't really matter unless you are watching movies on the phone, and most people don't, they connect to a big screen so it becomes moot.
S3 has Quad-core 1.4 GHz Cortex-A9 vs. Iphone Quad-core
ARM Cortex-A15 = both are Samsung Architecture, but the Cortex-A15 is likely to be a hair faster, though most people won't be able to tell the difference without some type of benchmark to compare, seeing as the A5x is a down clocked Cortex-A9 (only 1.0GHz in the ipad vs, the 1.4GHz in the S3) I suspect the Cortex-A15 will also be downclocked so in reality it will probably benchmark close to the S3 in most catagories.

for all intent and purpose the S3 and the Iphone 5 are about equal, however the S3 has Flash and bigger screen going for it, and the iphone has universal connectivity going for it.
Android phones are a PITA to connect to car stereos or most boom boxes or tv's or whatever without a host of special adaptors which are all different for every phone/phone manufacturer.
I own and S3, had it since pre-release in late June, one of the best phones I have owned, but a little disappointed that I cannot display song data on my HUD or Radio screen in the Camaro via bluetooth, but my 4 year old ipod touch 2nd gen can..
Will I be getting the Iphone 5.. probably not.. I liek my S3, but for all those iphone fanboys that want to put the S3 down..
the internals of the iphone are made by Samsung, so crapping on the S3 is crapping on the iphone.. just sayin..
oh and for the comment about the iphone being thinner.. it's .5mm thinner, who the hell can tell the difference in a 1/2 mm? seriously does that even matter?
