Yes they are both made out of aluminum but THEY LOOK NOTHING ALIKE! THEY DON'T FEEL ALIKE! THEY ARE BARELY EVEN SIMILAR! The only thing that is similar is the aluminum.
Omg! Stop saying the one looks like the iphone 5!!!!!!

Why are we yelling? And who are we yelling at?
I'm a proud One owner, and yet, I'll admit this much: minus subtle styling choices, all smart-phones look roughly the same; roughly rectangular, a screen on the front. Some buttons somewhere, or maybe not, and this goes back to well before the iPhone, too. Here's another secret: manufacturers (of any device, not just phones but any consumer electronic, cars, etc) see something they like in one design, "borrow" from it, improve on it. So what if our Ones do or don't look like iPhones--you own the phone, you know you like it, and really, that's all that matters.
Exactly ! Who cares even if its copy so enjoy your one its great piece of gadget

For real? I love the One's design, but the first thing I noticed was the chamfered and polished aluminum edges. I'm not suggesting that HTC copied Apple, since that would have been difficult. But they do certainly bear some similarities.

Come on. Open your eyes people. The One is an exact copy of the iphone 5!!!
Iphone has a flat back and the One's curved. The iphones speakers are on the bottom and the One's on the front facing you. Iphone's power button is on the side and the One's on the top. Iphone has nothing but a button on the bottom bezel and the One has a home, back, and a huge HTC logo on the bottom bezel. Heaphone jack is at opposite ends of the phone.
See the similarities keep stacking up regardless whether they are aluminum or not. Honestly, I'm surprised Apple hasn't sued yet!

If you ask me, there is similarities in all smartphones, their all elongated, some have aluminium, others are made of plastic, some have different curves and tweaks, some have a physical home button while others don't have and i could go on for a while. That is just what i think, the question is just what you prefer to use and what fall in your taste.

Aluminum body, glass front, rectangular shape, with buttons...I will destroy you, Google!!

OK so they're both aluminum, but aside from that? I mean, you have to realize that there are many design elements that are common among the majority of mainstream phones out there today. Once you set those aside then you have what really matters, home button placement, number of buttons, screen activation button placement, speaker placement, screen size, screen aspect ratio, etc. When you look at those things, the ones that really matter, there's no comparison.
I'm holding both my iPhone 5 and my One right now and I'll be damned if I can tell the difference. Someone help me - I'm that stupid!

They're exactly the same they both have screens! HTC totally copied apple by putting a screen on the phone!
