Other users who might be bothered by the update are those who simply don't want to update, but keep getting a notification that an update is available. Unfortunately, there's no way to turn this notification off anywhere in the settings, so you only have the option to install the update immediately or postpone it to the next day, which won't solve anything, as the notification will pop up again the next day. From iOS 9 there is another option that, after entering your password, will install the update overnight between 2 and 5 am, as long as the device is connected to power.
