The HTC One is not an Amoled which is what you said. I am correcting you. The S4 has a Amoled display, but not the HTC One. You can scream all you want about the display, but you are wrong. Samsung has the Amoled.
Also last time I checked the iphone 5 can not play true HD video while the 1080p display can.
First off, "LOL, bye?" if you want to be taken serious, pull your diapers up son.
Anyways, I meant in regards to the iOS, not the quality of execution.
Apple maps maybe have given incorrect information, but the execution of the app wasn't glitchy or crashed.

"At 4.7-inches and 468 pixels per inch (ppi), the HTC Ones Super LCD 3 1080p display is vibrant, bright, and easy to read. Its IPS display incorporates SoLux technology, which is said to help improve viewing angles, picture quality, and outdoor visibility. Our side-by-side comparison of the One and the Galaxy S 4 displaying the same photo showed softer colors on the One, but the S 4 produced a more pure black because of the nature of the AMOLED display."

Thank you jrswizzle. Since you own both please let us know which screen you like better.
You said S3 android in your previous post... I wonder what version of Andriod was on your older S3...I was talking about the Android OS experience, the hardware specs have almost become irrelevant, unless ur a tech geek with a major case of 1UP
How are you going to compare LCD and Plasma? lolI could argue that the GS4 has the best display of all, but it has a lower ppi than the HTC One
Also, I just upgraded to a 60" Panasonic plasma, from a 42" Samsung LCD. The ppi is a lot lower on the Panasonic, but it's one of the best displays on the market!
Do yourself a research.... Have ever heard of marketing strategies?
Just read the last paragraph:http://www.androidpit.com/super-amoled-vs-retina-display
Side by side, HTC One no doubt. And it's also bigger, much easier for reading.

lol, I am still an iPhone user, using Apple product every single day, including a Mac Pro. I think you are being a bit defensive there buddy just because people are calling out the fact that HTC-One/S4 has better specs than the iPhone 5.
I really wish Apple will skip iPhone 5S and just come out with the 6. If not... They are going to lose more customers. The 5 was a small upgrade from the 4S to compete with HTC and Samsung.
Is this the end of apple? Hell no. It was quoted that apple has more cash on hand than the united states govt.
I would say- Jonathan Ives has alot of pressure on him to bring apple back to the forefront.
I jumped ship to the note 2. If the 5s/6 is good enough, ill happily go back.

But reviewers called out the fact that the S3 had better specs than the iPhone 4s.
But reviewers called out the fact that the S2 had better specs than the iPhone 4.
But reviewers called out the fact that the original Galaxy had better specs than the iPhone 3Gs.
Every year for at least the last half-of-a-decade, HTC and Samsung put out devices with better specs than the iPhone.
Every. year.
There's "being defensive", and then there's looking at the facts. If "better specs" meant a better user experience, then HTC and Samsung would PWN the market now. Seriously. They've been putting out phones with better specs for a LONG TIME now. LONG TIME.
You're saying nothing new.
Nothing.
Maybe it's your title that's the problem. And your confusion of opinion and fact. And your position that specs are the only thing that matters. And your lack of recognition that the iPhone 5 came out 8 months ago, so it's not surprising that new devices would have better specs.
Because the name and case are what's important?
Lose more customers? That implies they are losing customers already. They are gaining customers.
Small in what way? Considering almost every single feature of the hardware was significantly upgraded, statements like this are why people keep accusing you of trolling.
Lol, HTC is not AMOLED and IPS is a type of LCD as there are many different iterations of the tech.
Wow... calling out the truth is trolling?

If you think iPhone 5 is a big upgrade from the 4S, fine. Then why the above linked survey shows Apple's having a hard time this year? Is it because people find it not necessary upgrading to iPhone 5? Or is it because they are moving to other phones?

Can you explain as to what advanced features were debuted on the S4 that were leaps and bounds over the S3? Expect being able to scroll with your eyes of course.

You should research the differences between display techs.
You're making general assumptions of each technology when the tech has nothing to do with the shortcomings of devices you are comparing.When it comes to viewing display tech, IPS is actually pretty terrible because of poor native contrast. When used with locally dimming LED backlight, it can be great as it addresses the inherent weakness of limited viewing angles but still not as good as something such as SPVA due to the cell walls inability to reduce light bleed, U2VA is probably the best for this.
AMOLED will always have a higher on/off and ansi contrast as it is an emissive tech where as LCD is transmissive.
The i5 beat the S3 last year due to drastic color inaccuracy (color temperature and saturation) which has been mitigated by a large margin this year.
You can't tell nizmoz anything. He then tells me if it is not Amoled then what is it some kind of futurist screen or something. Come now.
Again, you are confusing "truth" with "your opinion". And then you exaggerate your position, "end of the iPhone," to create controversy.
It's simply because you don't understand what you linked to. It was not a survey, and it didn't show Apple having a hard time this year. In fact, it showed that the release of the iPhone 5 resulted in an increase in smartphone sales at Sprint.

Most of the "Facts" you are spouting are clearly not true and you're dead set on winding people up. You've said you have used iPhones for a while yet you still don't get how the hardware works on the iPhone and keep spouting "higher" specs.
Sorry that I don't fall into the Android fan camp like some of you guys. I have owned many Android phones (actually more of them than iphones), and now currently a iphone 5. I do like the new One and S4, but to me, it's not a game changer. A a 4MP camera on the HTC one is a deal breaker but I am sure you folks will have more excuses for that too.

To answer the OP question, it is for me.
Well, depending on WWDC and what iOS7 brings to the table. If it's just a Siri Beta 2 update and some little tweaks I'm switching. I will either go HTC One or the just announced stock Android SG4. If Apple pulls out all the stops and it's a major overhaul, more customization, hints of larger screens and some of the sweetness that Android is starting to bring to the market I may stay, but at this point I'm kind of done with Apple. I am locked in to the ecosystem but these days it seems updates break more things with Apple then they fix. I have syncing issues with various things on various devices which I never did before, my iPhone5 is buggy, laggy and not as stable as iPhones in the past.

My home is riddled with
products and I've had every iPhone including the 5 (which I still have). The biggest differences in the hardware for me were:the rearrangement of the pixels which for my eyes improved clarity.
Color temp is closer to REC 709/6500K.
Dual Core-> Quad Core
1GB ram->2GB Ram.
JB 4.2 Although this is not that important as most devices will get the update.
Take all this with a grain of salt as I am someone who finds any reason to upgrade, hence why I went from 4->4S->5
Between the iP5 and the HTC One?
In my eyes its a wash.....I can notice a slightly better quality in the One's display when comparing the two side-by-side, but the increase in PPI doesn't do much when you get up over 300.....
That's just my opinion, though I'm a stickler when it comes to display quality. Hate hate hate the AMOLED displays (although I've heard great things about the GS4 being more true and accurate color-wise).
