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.
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?!

They have different strengths and weaknesses.
