[QUOTE="Ctrl-Opt-Del, post: 1572329, member: 215112"] The only problem I have with my HTC One (which is otherwise a very capable phone that I'm happy with & serves me well) is that it has a tendency to get warm very rapidly in normal use, and get uncomfortably hot (in excess of 40 degrees centigrade) under heavy use; to the point where it becomes quite literally too hot to handle without a case, and the battery life is accordingly drastically reduced. I have never personally heard any iPhone-owning family/friends/associates complain about their handset overheating; while I did experience the same problem with the Samsung Galaxy S II (a dire phone, but that's beside the point here) which I had before my current handset. Do iPhones overheat, or is it a problem pecular to Android-powered devices? I have used both Android and iOS, and have no particular "loyalty" to either; I have only chosen Android phones as they have - so far - always seemed to be better suited to my needs than the iPhone(s) out at the time of my having renewed my contract; so, if the iPhone does indeed have the benefit of more thermally-stable hardware, that could contribute much to my decision-making process the next time I am due to replace my phone. As an engineering undergraduate I am certainly technically-minded enough to be comfortable with Jailbreaking my phone to regain any Android functions I'm used to that might not be native to vanilla iOS; and I've never used a non-free app so far, so I'd not be sacrifcing any purchases by migrating from the Google Play Store to the Apple App Store.
