I used both android and iOS phone. The fact is iOS is smoother and not as laggy as android phone even after more than a year of usage. Android phone smooth when it is new but become laggy after few months of usage. This happening even latest android devices. Problems that I faced such as unable to answer phone call , hang, etc. My friend note I laggy n keep restarting after few months of usage n another friend note 2 also laggy after using for few months and dead after a year. Of course all of them never root their phone. Anyway in term of hardware reliability, apple products will have premature failure as well and I knew number of iPhones breakdown within a year of usage. iOS still lag and suffer some software issues but its much more better than android phones. Android will have a lot of adwares, malwares etc even you install a normal app from play store. You won't really face these adware problems in apple store. Somebody may argue that there is still security loophole in apple store but at least to a normal user like us, you won't encounter your phone consistently giving you some notifications about some advertisements and some other adwares problem. Then you need to install adware detector , antivirus etc in android but you don't really need that for iOS . Of course android r highly customize able but what really having in iOS is more than enough for the majority.

Anyway, no doubt that htc produces good phones.

My niece 2 months htc one had battery issue where her phone cannot charge full. Send for repair and takes 3 weeks to repair. Good thing is you no need to send to their service cente, instead they will send ups to pick up from you .

I will undoubtly choose htc one if I would buy another android phone. Htc spent n put more though in product n engineering while Samsung spend more in marketing.

Anyway, getting a phablet for my wife. Unfortunately htc don't have phablet n htc one max come too late and possibly too expensive.
