iOS is not OS X with mobile interface...
iOS have been behind on multitasking for ages, simply there is no true multitasking on iPhone, this is also one of the reasons why iPhones don't need more than two cores or more ram. I don't know if they finally allowed TRUE multitasking with iPhone 6, but even if they did it's playing catch up at this point, I don't know where you get the "completely shits over Android" part.

"iOS does not allow true multitasking for third party apps. iOS only allows certain APIs to run in the background, such as audio streaming and push notifications. An app stops running the instant the user switches to another app. Apple gives their own apps multitasking abilities that other apps are not allowed to use, which can cause confusion on this topic."

Again i don't know if they finally changed this with the latest iOS, but this has been the case since ever, this is one of the reasons why iPhones run smoothly with less horsepower.
