Hello Rich,
It's a good idea to wait, and here are more reasons why. Here is a
message I just received.

If you use an iPhone 4S, do NOT update it with iOS 8.
Apple says you can load your 4S with iOS 8, the new mobile operating system
Apple released on Wednesday. But you really shouldn't.
iOS 8 was not made for us 4S users. It was designed for bigger screens than
the 4S has. And that's the least of our worries. Ars Technica did some
experimenting and found that iOS 8 slows the 4S down significantly. It takes
an iPhone 4S 2.16 seconds to launch Safari in iOS 8, vs. 1.25 seconds in iOS
7.1.2. Launching the calendar takes 1.25 seconds with iOS 8 instead of 0.8
seconds in 7.1.2. Not cool.
I downloaded iOS 8 on my iPhone 4S (for science), and I can say from
personal experience that it is murdering my battery. On Wednesday night my
iPhone completely died from lack of battery life for the first time in
years. I was using a battery case and charging it intermittently throughout
the day, but it still didn't last from 7 A.M. to midnight.
If you have a 4S you're probably eligible for an upgrade pretty soon. Our
advice is to just hold out until your contract is over and then get a new
phone.

There are several bugs in iOS8. I'm recommending to wait for the next iOS
update in a week or so. That's what I'm doing.
