Apple is not gonna risk their iphones, as they are their flagship (aside even from giving them higher margins). My opinion is that, as we are talking about ram SHORTAGE (not just for ram price hike) they have to cut the more ram hungry models to be able to keep up with their projected production/demand (at reasonable ram prices). Getting iphones "sold out" is not a great thing for apple.

Once/if the ram shortage ends, they will continue increasing the ram caps as they were already doing, because then selling ram-heavy macs will not interfere with the rest of their products.
