Actually the HTC One has a much different camera than the One X+. The 4 megapixels "Ultrapixel" camera makes each individual pixel larger, which lets in more light and produce better low-light pictures. Go to Google and search for some camera comparisons and you will see the HTC One defeats the iPhone in terms of low-light pictures.
If Apple still decides to stay where they are, enjoying profits, and does not bring any innovation to the market, I can see them be in where Microsoft, Nokia, and Blackberry had ended up.
At what point along the way has Apple been just sitting back and enjoying profits?
