There are overlays for Android to make it look and perform like an Iphone. This gives the benefit of better Android Specs. The new Iphone 5S seems to have sensor issues. The fingerprint scanner looks to be a neat toy. It only took two days until it was hacked. If you're already in the Apple ecosystem it does make sense to stay. If you want more options and power than Android is ready. I do recommend going with a higher end device like the Samsung S4, HTC One or Motorola X. If you can wait a month or two the MotoX will be available in custom colors on Verizon.
Definitely recommend heading to the store to play with each.
