Plus Tim Cook telegraphed the price increase intent, so consumers who 
were on the edge of buying something new had the opportunity to beat the 
increase.

Case in point, we've been contemplating replacing some older devices for 
a couple of months now, so we ordered replacements at the old price; ETA 
next week.  While I was at it, I also noted that some of the household 
UPS's batteries are calendar-wise EOL, so I ordered a battery tester and 
a few battery packs:  next up is to test, cull & replace some of them.
