It would be an interesting marketing experiment if Apple released an alternative model that was fatter, e.g. the iPhone 6 Plus "Big Mac" Edition.
This unit could have a fatter battery, a sturdier chassis, a USB socket or two, and a memory slot. See how much acceptance of a thicker handset there is.
Apple's so secretive and protective of their devices that they're clearly reluctant to field test interesting new models, except maybe internally in a controlled environment. But this is precisely what they, and all manufacturers, ought to be doing.

However, I may be wrong and some kind of pop-out lens assembly is the solution to this. In that case, eventually the width of the Lightning port will be the limiting factor (I'm assuming Apple will probably obsolete the headphone jack within 5 years once they work out how to recharge headphones regularly and easily)
