Why did Apple raise prices?

Apple stated the $100 price increase for the iPhone 18 Pro models was due to higher memory chip costs. This reflects a global trend of rising component prices impacting electronics manufacturers. However, the subsequent order reduction suggests that consumers might be resisting these higher prices, particularly in a competitive market.
