iPhone 6 is already out - its not right if we have to wait 6-12+ months 
before adding it, is it ?

This is not something that requires a new feature to be developed, it is 
simply adding another resolution and images to an already existing
list of dynamic configurations we have.

I agree it was done late - we need to fix that, but all of the jiras 
should already be there.

Approved and reviewed by QE and dev.

Full disclosure: I did explicitly encourage the iphone6 skin to be added 
since others also thought it was not a bugfix.
If it had required new feature development and broken API's or in some 
way risked a breakage somewhere I would have agreed;
since it is just adding an additional default configuration which users 
could manually configure anyway (tediously) I'm okey
with doing it this way.
