It's best to use the stock charger as they all have different Volts/Amps.
Are you asking because of how short the cable on the HTC One charger is? I bought a 6 foot USB to Micro USB cable on Amazon for $2 to use instead.
No, I'm asking because I have a couple of extra iPhone wall chargers. I figured I could use them along with a micro-USB cable as an extra charger. This way, I don't have to buy an extra charger nor just throw away the iPhone charger.

You can use them, however remember there is the slim possibility of it messing your phone up. I can't find the Amps/Volts used in the HTC One's charger. I know the iPhone uses a 1Amp/5Volts charger, I don't know if the HTC One uses higher, if it does your iPhone Charger would take longer to charge your HTC and would get very hot in the process.
I found the specs for the AC adapter on HTC's website. Would the iPhone charger work?

Thats the exact same Amps and Voltage output than the iPhone charger. Should work no problem.

Yeah, should work perfectly fine. Now I know why the One charges so slow.. 2300 mAh battery, charging at the same speed of the 1400 mAh iPhone.
The S4 charger uses 2 Amps.
Btw using higher rated chargers isn't bad to use every once in awhile. When I used an iPhone and needed a quick charge, I would use my iPad charger. Doing that a lot would cause battery damage over time though.
