They don't have DRM there yet. But they've opened a possibility of DRMing iPhone audio now. When other manufacturers follow suit, it'll be only a matter of time before some parties will want to make use of that possibility.

You realize they had DRM in iTunes music long ago at the insistence of the labels, and have killed it? Why in the world do you think Apple would add it back?
