Realistically what you are attributing to iOS 7 didn't really happen until iOS 8, with 7 being more of UI redesign focused than the underlying code that mostly started happening with iOS 8.
I mean exactly what I said, and that's what happened: iOS 7 was both UI change AND new code, both from the ground up. 8 provided advanced new features (as every new version of iOS does), but the new code was just as much of a focus on 7.

Every new version provides new features, but not many, if any, changed what iOS provides and how it does things (under the hood, more specifically) as iOS 8 did.
