Craig,
Your analogy is excellent! Perfectly captures the opinion I have heard from many. The reason that I have encouraged you to update is because really I, personally, have never experienced an issue with an update, and neither has my signifiant other. Call us lucky! I will not lie to you and say that that means that all updates are going to flawless -- far from it. Many people, as you described, find themselves in the exact situation described by your analogy, and they take to the internet to describe and outline these problems. It is unfortunate that iOS 8 has been such a buggy release for so many, and disheartening that Apple has not yet found a solution for some of these major bugs.
I do ask you to remember though that most of what you find when looking for opinions on iOS 8 will be people having problems with their device -- those whose update went through perfectly have no reason to question it, and thus it can make it seem like everyone writing on iOS 8 is having a problem. There is most definitely a large amount of people with problems after the update, but most likely an equally large amount of people who did not have problems and simply didn't post about it.
My significant other is not a heavy user. She uses her phone an average amount, but she most definitely does not rely on it as much as you have outlined above. I do not want to deceive you into thinking that just because she had no problems that means that you will not encounter any either. To answer your question, she updated about a week after each release of iOS 8 (iOS 8.1, iOS 8.1.2, etc.)
I also do not want you to think that I am a completely neutral party either. I am a fan of Apple, I will admit to that, but trust that I try to speak from as unbiased a position as I possibly can.
As far as your concerns with Apple go, I hear you. Many people would agree with you. Apple markets itself with the concept of flawlessly functioning devices, and that means that for some, when issues do occur, it is even more than just a bug because they bought the device on the promise of it flawlessly functioning. Yes, the functioning factor is part of the reason behind the higher prices of Apple products, but remember you also get a one year hardware warranty and over the phone assistance, access to the Apple Store and Genius Bar (both of which have excellent customer service, a fact that is widely agreed upon), as well as features such as iCloud storage. Widespread bugs like the ones that have occurred with iOS 8 are uncharacteristic of Apple, but in the end they will make mistakes, it is how they fix them that characterizes the company.
From everything that you have stated, here is my solution for you: If your phone works right now, it works. It will continue to work if you do not update, that is guaranteed. What is not guaranteed is that if you update, the phone will function even better. Both you and I are aware that iOS 8 has caused just as many issues as it has resolved -- updating here is a gamble, if you rely on your phone as much as I am thinking you do, it is probably better to take the safer route that guarantees the phone will work. Keep in mind, iOS 8.2 is right around the corner. More bug fixes may be introduced, and that may be a better time to update.
You bring up some excellent points. In the end, this decision is all up to you. I'm just a guy on the internet with some strong opinions!
Nick.

How many times do I need to download iOS 5 for multiple devices?

This may be a dumb question, but my sister, my dad, and I all have iPhones. I am downloading iOS 5 as we speak and it is taking forever. My question is, do I need to download it again to update each device or can I use the same download on all three phones? It's been so long since I updated the software I don't remember how it works. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply! I did a little more digging and think I've been able to reset whatever was preventing it from working. I did the following and things seem to be back to normal:
1) Quit Safari
2) Backed up ~/Library/Safari folder to desktop
3) Deleted ~/Library/Safari
4) Launched Safari (which creates default/new copy of ~/Library/Safari) with defaults
After visiting a handful of my usual sites, they began to once again fill in under "Most Frequently Visited".

i already downloaded ios 7 beta 2 and i want to upgrade to ios 7 original edition
i upgrade itunes software to 11.1 but when i press check for updates it tell me that ios 7 is the current version
please advice

Okay... try this...
Go to Settings -> iTunes & App Store -> Apple ID and sign out of your account. Then sign back in with your Apple ID. Try downloading again.
If that doesn't work, go to Settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset All Settings. When done, turn your iPad off (hold the Sleep button down for several seconds. When the red slider appears, switch it off. Wait a few seconds and then press and hold the Sleep button for 1-2 seconds and let go). After the reboot you will need to reconnect your Wi-Fi, log back in to App Store, iBook Store, and iTunes. Try downloading content again.
Hope this answers your question!

There is no such thing as an iPhone 's3'. There is a 3G which can only be updated to iOS 4.2.1 and a 3GS which can be updated to iOS 6.1.3.

iOS 7 not compatible with 4G iPod
All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory. The 4G iPod only has 256 MB

HT4623 can I download iOS 7 freely on my iPhone 4s

can I download iOS 7 freely on my iPhone 4s which is now working on iOS 5 and I can't update it so I want to erase the os and download iOS7

I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums.

HT4623 trying to download ios 6 software update to my iphone 4s. While it is downloading it suddenly pauses and knocks me out of my wi-fi network. I then can't access the network in order to continue the download.

I have a iphone 4s.
I was trying to download ios 6 software update.
Put in a wifi network and plugged in before starting download.
Soon after I hit download it paused and said to choose wifi network before continuing.
It had knocked out my wifi connection.
When I turn the wifi back on and ask it to choose a network it can't find it anymore.
Meanwhile I can't get it to continue to download the ios 6 update.

Instead of trying to update OTA connect your phone to your computer with USB abd have the latest itunes open and do it that way. If it says you are not connected click cancel and see if the download continues. iOS 6.1.3 is now the latest so that is what you will be updating to

If you're running iOS 5.1.1, then I suspect you have an iPad 1 which can't be updated to iOS 7. The version you have is the latest you can put on an iPad 1

Ensure that you're using the latest version of iTunes.
Connect your device to your computer using the included USB cable.
After iTunes opens, select your device when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
Click "Check for Update" in the Summary pane to check for available updates.
If an update is available, iTunes prompts you to download and install the update. Do not disconnect your device until the update has finished.

Started to download IOS 6.1 and failed to complete due to no wall charger. Now download fails with "failed verification because no longer connected to internet. Wi-fi shows my linksys. What's up?

I think maybe the download is in the phone because it switched from download to a preparing message. It almost completed, blu bar nearly full and then the fail message. Today, on a different wi-fi, I get the Unable to Verify Update message. Is there a way to clear and start over?
Seems to be a content expiration issue, probably to keep the load down on the servers hosting the updates. I've found that resetting your network settings does the trick, even if it is a little overkill.
