The problem with that Apple-biased testing is that it is running just WiFi + web surfing, not adjusting for other phone uses/configurations/radios/etc. What happens when you add bluetooth + LTE + eight running apps, for example? Also, it is comparing iOS6 to Android 4.0. Android 4.1 is the newest version, and while it is very rare at the moment, it will be widespread before the next iOS iteration and it will be installed on all new high-end Android phones (comparable to the IP5) going forward. Android 4.1 improves upon 4.0's already solid battery management.
