There's a possibility that because of this, Apple will have to split the release of flagship and basic versions.

Nope.

Depite what the fools on some of the big Apple news websites seem to
think, Apple does *not* use RAM memory chips in any of its devices. The
RAM memory built into the Apple Silicon chip itself, so what happens to
the price and availability of RAM chips is completely irrelevant to the
memory in Apple devices.

RAM prices and availability will affect the SSD storage drives Apple
uses in their devices though, since SSDs are basically just a
collection of RAM chips on a card.

There's been rumours of splitting the iphone releases for a few months now.
The recent spike in RAM prices - which Apple is largely immune from - is
not the driver.
