When iOS 7 launches on Wednesday, it will represent the most dramatic update to Apple's mobile software platform since the inception of the original iPhone.

Many iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch owners are undoubtedly aware of exciting additions like iTunes Radio, Airdrop and the Control Center, but Apple has a few surprises you might not be aware of. 

As we anxiously await for Apple to beam the software update to compatible devices (anyone still rocking an iPhone 3GS or first generation iPad is out of luck) join the staff here at Neon Tommy at taking a look underneath the hood of Apple's new iOS 7.
