Yes the iPhone storage ( data base ) is less as compared to Mac / PC , so whenever the contacts are deleted from iPhone they don't go in recently deleted and immediately erased from iCloud / iPhone .

However , in Mac / PC the contacts deleted are moved in recently deleted and can be recovered before 30 days .
