So, IOS 8 just dropped. Have a 5s. Is this going to ruin my phone like IOS 7 did to my iphone 4?

I dunno, but each version has slowed my older iPhone down.

IOS 8 on the 5s should be fine. It's only one update over what the 5s launched with. When you put IOS 7 on your Iphone 4, that was 2 years difference in software vs hardware, so of course it was going to slow down a bit. My 4s handled IOS 7 like a champ, actually it sped up a bit.

Just please back up your stuff before you upgrade. I used to be a tech at an Apple store, and with technology, shit happens. I had too many iphones that needed to be wiped because of an error in the update and the user didn't have a backup and lost everything. Best advice is backup on your computer using itunes and on icloud.

That's been the case with my 4 as well but I learned something the other day. My brother had similar slow down issues. He had to unlock his 4S so he could travel abroad and use a EU sim card. He discovered that when he backed up his phone using iTunes then did a clean install of iOS7 & installed the backup  that he gained several gigs in available memory and his phone was no longer slow or glitchy. I haven't had time to try it on my phone but I did notice in the cellular menu there was a chunk of memory allocated for uninstalled apps. And in the about Diagnostics & Usage Data there are a pile of crash reports. I have my diagnostics set to do not send. Don't know if that takes up memory as well.

Dunno yet. I assume it is so ATV plays nice with everything else.

Network bandwidth at the office has been 400% of normal for the last 25 minutes. I think we have a few people downloading it and the IPS alarms are going off now for abnormal activity.

One of the best things we ever did was add some ISP "Cloud" Firewalls it dropped the traffic on some of our bigger circuits more than 10%. I am blessed to have some pretty good users who don't cause me too much trouble on the internet. Almost all of that bandwidth is needed for backend processes not web browsing.

Got into a bit of a weird hang because I have 2 step authentication.  It was trying to send a code to my phone but it never came so I skipped the step and then manually signed it after the initial setup and everything is GTG.

When you setup 2 factor auth you have options to setup the IOS device directly and a mobile number. I did both just in case I forgot to change it when my phone gets replaced.
