Thinner, lighter, faster, better battery life, and it has a bigger screen. I will take these over NFC and wireless charging any day. Sometimes they are ahead in raw specs (screen ppi), sometimes they are behind (LTE), but everything they include, or don't include, is well thought out. (e.g., at the time of the 4s release 4G LTE phones suffered from terrible battery life)
