Hi David,
I assumed maybe it was size constraint as well, but just the thickness? Really? The 6 is 6.9 and the 6 Plus 7.1 mm, that is only a 0.2 mm difference and I find it hard to believe that this would make the difference. Just as a comparison, the average human finger nail is 0.3 to 0.5 mm thick, so the difference between a 6 and a 6 Plus is less than the thickness of a finger nail. Another way to describe it, the difference is probably no more or maybe even less than how much the power button on my 5S sticks out from the frame of the phone. I would hazard a guess and say that it is quite possible Apple did not put physical image stabilization into the 6 just because they didn’t feel like it and so they have something they can add to their 4.7 inch phone next year.

This leaves lots of room to take shots at windows mobile when one requires accessibility. Do to the thinness of the phone, Apple was unable to implement physical image stabilisation into the iPhone 6.

I don’t see any problem with Apple offering a 6 Plus which is larger and maybe has slightly improved features over the 6, after all, if you buy a car or other products you have a huge choice of various models and you just buy the one you like and can afford. In any case, unless I am mistaken one of the only differences between the 6 and 6 Plus apart from the size is the fact that the 6 Plus has optical image stabilization. Why is this not in the 6? I have no idea, maybe it didn’t fit into the smaller and slightly thinner case, maybe it’s not there because Apple simply decided to put it only in their larger phone. Similarly, last year they offered the iPhone 5S with the A7 processor and they offered the cheaper 5C with a plastic case and only the A6 processor. Could they have put an A7 into the 5C? Sure they could have and maybe even for the same price, but they didn’t do so for their own reasons of marketing or whatever. That is just what companies do.

To add unique features to one,and exclude the other, gives 1 an advantage over the other even if it is larger, in my opinion.

If you plan to stay "In the Garden" of Apple's iOS, I don't forsee Apple offering various models of its Apple iPhone only being distinguished by its size alone. If you don't believe me, take a look at the "specs" for the upcoming Apple iPhones (Apple iPhone 6+ & Apple iPhone 6). I think Apple should offer iPhones like this to determine which "size" is most desirable rather than forcing people, who stay "in the Garden" of Apple to purchase these Larger iPhones (i.e., Apple iPhone 5, Apple iPhone 5C, Apple iPhone 5S, Apple iPhone 6, & Apple iPhone 6+). If this trend continues, expect the Apple iPhone 7 to be even Larger than these iPhones probably in the Next 2 Years as Next Year's Apple iPhone will be some variation of this Year's model (Apple iPhone 6+ & Apple iPhone 6+).

Really, it is not so nice for me, but I have no way to take a iPhone of that size in my pocket. I don't think that I will update my phone.
