The iOS 8 did not bring in any major update to the Apple maps though there were some small little changes done. But on the iOS 9, Apple packs in a noteworthy update of adding transit details. On the new OS, you can now see train, subway, bus and walking information, with direction options like the ones on the Google Maps.

Apple iPhone 4S# Older Devices Support

Normally when the new version of iOS is out, the older devices do not have the memory or are not compatible with the latest update. But on the iOS 9 it is different and all the devices from the iPhone 4S and above will receive the new update with the iPads and iPods which have been updated to iOS 8.

Storage on the iPhone# Lot More Free Space

The major issue of the OS update from Apple is that the file size was big and use to take up a lot of space on the devices. So, here on the new OS the file size is reduced making it much easier to download and install now.

If you look at the OTA update file size of the iOS 8, it was a bulky 4.6 GB one taking up most of the space on the Apple devices. On the other hand, the iOS 9 is just 1.3GB saving a lot of space.
