That number is at 13% probably because of people using devices that can't actually run iOS7, not because they choose not to. iOS8 won't change that.

I know a few people using a iPhone 4 that choose not to upgrade to iOS7 because of performance issues.

One of our iPad 2s is on iOS 6 for that reason and also because after updating my iPad 4 to iOS 7 I can almost never successfully send an email the first attempt.

Wrong.

iOS 7 is a minor update (beside major OS-theme changes). I prefer the iOS 6 look&feel and will stay with that version til several UI bugs in v7 are finally fixed ..so probably with iOS 8.

You realize that the look and feel of iOS6 that you like isn't ever coming back right? I've had friends refuse to update because of that exact reasoning as if they think somehow their defiance will change the course Apple is taking with the UI...
