Are there any phone apps in need of MORE? OS bloat and 3rd party back ground multi tasking are extremely tightly managed on iOS.
There is UTM which certainly benefits from more RAM.

Technically, yeah of course. Though I think that people rather use it on Apple’s larger devices like iPads and MacBooks. It’s not that convenient to use virtual machines on small screens (although I understand it can be useful in some specific scenarios).
Gaming is also one use case where it's desirable to have more RAM.
iPhones with 6 gb of RAM have no issues at all, meanwhile those 6 gb of RAM makes my apps reload a lot with A13 on my custom ROM :/
When deciding on specifications, a vendor has to consider the requirements for the whole of its support lifecycle, not just year one. So Apple needs to be building a premium phone that will be functional for everything they have in the pipeline
But there will still be a substantial price increase as if there was more RAM. Count on it!
