It's hard to draw any conclusion from personal anecdote: where I work it's the opposite, all my coworkers who had Android smartphones (Samsung and Sony) are switching to iPhone 5S.
Note that none of them is technically savy at all: they can barely use a computer, things like Felica are in the realm of science-fiction for them. They just want a smartphone with a decent camera and Line. By the way that horribly tacky "gold" iThingy is a killer, everybody wants it (Osaka, probably different in other cities).
