Will I be able to update directly to iOS 8 from iOS 6 when it becomes available?

Will I be able to upgrade an iPhone5 running ios6 straight to ios8 or will I need to make a pit stop at ios7?

I think you will be able to upgrade directly to the latest iOS version -- iOS 8 when it is available to the public.

You should be able to update directly to iOS 8 when it's released.

No pit stop required unless you upgrade now to iOS7. May I ask why you haven't upgraded to iOS7 yet? Do you not like the iOS7 UI? Because I don't think it's changed from iOS7 to iOS8.
