In addition, everyone may place a different priority on different features and bugs. If I wasn't getting a new iPhone 6 soon after iOS 8 came out, then I would probably have waited to update until some of the Braille display and other Braille issues were fixed, since I regularly use a Braille display with my iPhone. A lot of the bugs referred to things I dont' use, like Siri, but to upgrade and lose or be very limited on my Braille display working was a deal breaker for me. Your milage may vary. While I don't agree that people should wait months to update, if someone is waiting on a major bug to be fixed before they do so, then what's wrong with that?
