Could someone advise me on this matter?

Hey folks,

I have a brand new HTC One with Verizon which has had some wired issues, some of which reported on my previous threads here. I wanted to try another device and now, Verizon is making an "exception" for me and is giving me two options (I am beyond the 14-day window btw). Option one: replace this phone with a refurbished phone (probably an iPhone) for the same price, Option two: get a new iPhone (or any other phone) and pay the difference. My HTC One was basically free so I would have to pay sth like $200 for an iPhone or S4 or.... Let's say I want to choose one of these options. Could you let me know me the pros and cons of each and which one would you choose?

I'd appreciate it.

I would go with the newest technology for my buck.   You will have the phone you pick for quite a while, no sense wishing for a new phone the moment you get home.
