I also have a Windows Phone 8 (Lumia 820) and indeed, in comparison the iOS UI is very stale. What I do miss is polish of applications (both Microsoft's and third-party), e.g. Facebook in the people hub does not work well (blocked feeds show up again, I cannot like comments, etc). 1Password is only a ghost of its polished iOS version. Also, the battery life is sh*t. My iPhone 4 usually lasted four a five full days, while the Lumia is often gone in 12 hours during a work day. It's very inconvenient when you have a long commute. Currently Apple still makes up the lack of innovation with polish. But time is ticking away...
