More affordable, more customizable OS, bigger screen, led notification, google integrated services, better notification system, faster, bigger battery, factory unlocked and pentaband, easier apn input, more features, more ram, better SoC, root >>> jailbreak, and I believe much more but it might be subjective.
iphone 5 pros over nexus 4:
LTE, thinner, lighter, more pocketable although depends on people ( I don't wear skinny jeans personally), better overall build quality, crisper screen(slightly more Ppi), better overall support ( software and hardware), better value, iTunes, huge ecosystem, more storage options.
Did you just say Apple iPhone is better value than the Nexus 4?
yes, not better value as cheaper, but a year from now you can still sell it at a high price, that kinda value.
it is to some people.
That's like saying sleeping on a bed of nails is a pro for some people
You are comparing an 8GB model to a 16GB model... Sure you still right in the end, but when you compare phone, compare the right equivalent phone...
Really? You know, this is NOT something you can compare, otherwise the Note II would be the best phone ever. Screen size importance is linked to phone and hand size. Someone with small hands (ie: a woman) will likely like more a smaller screen where everything is at reach without stretching all over. Phone size is a different debate, some people do prefer smaller phones.
Actually, iOS still dominate in term of App quality and stability. Compatibility is also a problem, but at least, the Nexus is always one of the best for compatibility. Still, games are a huge win for iOS, you don't know how many games I tried on Android but didn't work on my phone.3. Amount of apps (both have tons of apps and all the major ones)

That Lightning vs MicroUSB thing is quite a debate actually. Where the USB is universal, compatible to other devices and cheap, the lightning isn't without it's advantages actually. The fact you can put it in both way is just mind blowing, specially if you are like me and have two phones that have the MicroUSB port inverted. It's just enraging to always trying to plug it the wrong way... Finally, the proprietary connector on the iPhone wont stop it from being MUCH more supported with accessories than any Android phones out there.
That whole customization thing and "openness" is totally overblown actually. Only geek and techies are really caring about such features. It's REALLY rare for me to see a customized phone in the wild, I only see stock stuff. Hell, it's not even only customization actually, it's really rare that I would see someone with album arts on their music, I always see people with blank albums.

Nexus 4 does not have MHL, I heard it has that SlimPort thing.nexus over iphone:
true multitasking
No button interface fully touch operation
Miracast,DLNA,MHL
I find microusb a disadvantage. I hate microusb ports. They are fragile and difficult to plug in. That lightning port is great and wish we had that... Or something that is easy to use at night without seeing.
