Ya know, part of me LIKES less RAM because it requires more efficient code and compilers. It's a shame they don't allow assembly coding for a lot of the functions over calls to their API.
Still at the cost of RAM no reason to put too much of a limit, however for a phone really, even just 512MB should be plenty even with the way iOS manages memory.
I would rather see companies stick with less RAM for a few years to get developers to be as frugal as possible and optimize their code until it starts bleeding from it's eyes and ears before letting them loose with more space.
Though aren't there just three languages for iOS devices? C++, C and Objective C or something like that? Or did they relax it a bit since I last looked? I don't mind just C as it's a compiled language compared the the wide range of interpreted options we have today, most all of which are really only shades-of-grey different from each other in the end.
