Ask HN: Should I buy an iPhone (or something else)?

I hate iOS, but Apple makes some of the best hardware in the world. I'm currently 'rocking' an HTC One M7 (Google Play Edition) because stock android is my favourite mobile OS (I've tried them all, but only used android and the old old old windows phone 6-7 significantly). My problems with iOS is its boring 'homescreen' functionality: I love my widgets (email, twitter, IFTTT buttons etc) and don't really know what I'd do without them. The problem is I need a new phone (mine is almost dead - battery and camera issues), and the current lack of vanilla android offerings is depressing me. I'm very much a flagship buyer and need someone to convince me why a certain phone works well for them. I also own an android wear device, which basically becomes obsolete if I switch to iOS but that's probably something google is working on. A few more things about me: I use my phone a lot (lot lot), I really want a good camera because I only use phone cameras. Any suggestions?
