Should I wait? just not excited at the prospects of my phone possibly becoming unstable.

The only problem I'm having is copy and pasting in Safari. Everything else is pretty smooth.

I'd wait Chicken. My phone has just been a little buggy since I upgraded. Weird stuff like not recognizing my home wifi sometimes, texts taking forever to send, pics not getting saved properly.

A heads up

I deleted my pictures to make room for the update, thinking they will all be there on photo stream. When I updated apple got rid of photo stream so If i hadn't had them on my ipad I would have lost all of them. This has been an issue for many folks.

After upgrading my 4 to ios 6/7 and seeing how the update destroyed my phone.... I'm a tinfoil hat about apple now.

I firmly believe that they have no consideration for backwards compatibility or what their software updates due to the hardware on older devices.

You might be fine with the next one or two ios updates after your phone issue, but I wouldn't risk updates after that.
Just my opinion.

I made sure to upload all my pictures to my home computer before updating.

The only issues I have experienced are apps like Sportscenter & Facebook crashing. I backed up all of my photos to iPhoto. I did the update through iTunes and it required much less data than over the air. The update overall has been smooth.

I have a 5 my phone isn't unstable it is working pretty well. A few bugs here and there but they can be ignored pretty easily.

I upgraded my 5. It's a little quirky. The aftermarket keyboards are going to require a little work. I really enjoy the new features like family share and reply from notifications.
