That's a double edged sword. Assuming it's an 18 month contract, even when ram prices do go back to "normal" it's a year and a half until Apple has savings to pass onto to customers.

Raising prices allows Apple to reduce demand, possibly creating some flexibility in the durations of the current contracts.
