Easy there killer. I don't want to upgrade to iOS 8 on my 4S because I think it will dampen the performance on my slower processor. At some point I hope to get at least the 5S, but until then, I'd just assume go on enjoying the Apple ecosystem in a way that is as efficient as possible. I expect bugs, just part of technology, certainly no reason to tell people to just ditch Apple and go somewhere else. Just my two American cents worth.

Even if you delete the download from settings general usage it will reappear at some point. I say if you don't like this then don't be part of the Apple ecosystem. Just my £0.02 worth.
