Apple particularly mentioned on their website, under support section, the issues that the latest OS will address. These include issues related to Spotlight, multi-tasking gestures from working on iPad, and Messages and FaceTime particularly that prevents users from entering their Apple ID.
With respect to storage requirement, the developers of the new OS ensure that it won't eat plenty of space by reducing the amount of space needed to upgrade to the latest software. Add-on options are also configured for education standardized testing.
Below are some feedback on how the latest OS is holding up in terms of apps, connectivity, and speed.
Apps stay fairly stable and seem to be all working properly. Occasional crashing of Google Chrome can be experienced though, especially when more than 10 apps are open at a time. While it isn't a new problem for iPhone 6 users and owners of other iOS 8 devices, and may not be an iOS 8.1.3 problem either, it's worth noting that the frequency tends to peak up after the upgrade.
In terms of connectivity Bluetooth and 4G LTE remain solid, but WiFi may be problematic a few days after upgrading to the new OS. It may drop randomly or, worst, consistently that it might irk those iPhone users not on an unlimited plan and rely on WiFi for connection. While this is problematic, note that not all iPhone users experience this after the upgrade.
And since upgrading does not require loads of space, iPhone 6 performs incredibly fast. This can serve as an attractive point for users of iPhone 6 with 16GB storage capacity.
It's important to note that iPhone users cannot downgrade to their former OS once they've shifted to iOS 8.1.3. So unless you're experiencing major problems with iOS 8.1.2 and below, keeping your current OS can be good too.
