The workers who manufacture the iPhones aren't Apple employees. They're Foxconn employees, and Apple doesn't really have much control over how much they get paid. I mean sure, they could say "here's an extra Billion, make sure that the workers who build the iPhones get these"; I'm sure Foxconn would take it, but who knows where it would go from there.
