Microsoft More Innovative Than Apple?

I have been playing with my newly acquired iPhone 5, and am disappointed with the overall innovation in view.  Normally I have been replacing my iOS phone every other year.  Do I now regret that doing that this year?  Visited the local Microsoft store last week, and what I saw was impressive, 8 has some real new things in place.  Apple still has the excitement inertia,  but will it last?  Woz chimes in too.
