Will the iPhone 6 be able to smoothly run the latest games/apps for the next two years?

I would not hesitate to go with a 6. It will handle the games without issue. As long as you only plan to have it 2 years. Just my suggestion. The 6 is a very good phone. Heck, Apple still sells the 5s.
If you need one now, just go with the 6S. It happens to be a lot more durable, 2GB of RAM is necessary, and the camera is too good.
Please go with the 6S instead of the 6. But to answer your question: Yes
But bro, I can not overstate the 2 gigs of ram enough. It is a game changer for iOS users. There are people who say its not necessary but these people will come to like having those 2 gigs. Its like fighting against the combustible car when you are a carriage saleman. Or the pager to cellphone. Or the letter to telegraph. etc etc

I had an iPhone 5 for three years. I just upgraded to a 6s.
There was no app that the 5 couldn't run just fine. So I see absolutely no reason why the 6 won't run anything from the App Store for the next 2-3 plus years.
But if you can stretch to the 6s then I'd suggest doing so, not that the 6 is a bad phone. Just that the extra gig of ram in the 6s will offer that bit more future proofing.

I used an iPhone 4 for 3 years.. The 6 will probably be fine but if you have the cash just get the 6S.
As others have said, it would be "fine," but, if you can afford it, the 6(S) would be better.
Out of curiosity, what's your current device that you'd be upgrading from?

Just my .02: if you're currently getting by with a 4(S), then you'll be fine with a 6, but if you've got the funds, get the (S).
If you're happy with your 4s's performance now (after it's been on the market for 4 years), you'd likely be happy with the 6's performance in a couple of years. But I suspect you're not really able to run the "latest games/apps" on it, as mentioned in your title. Or are you?
