Nonsense, it's because people have being buying them they're lowering the pricing. I know several people with a rMBP, only one has the 13" so Apple are doing something right here.So nobody was buying them...

All the college kids have Retina MacBook Pros?
So nobody was buying them...
Hah. Walk around a college campus, ANY college campus and see how long you can hold onto that thought. Nice try though.
Undoubtably people going to blame this on "decreased sales" and "Apple's end is here" etc. I think it's more likely that it's a step towards the Retina models replacing the non-Retina, which they can't do so long as they are more expensive. Time passes, component prices go down, and they can decrement the price at a good pace, rather than wait and wait and wait and BOOM their halo laptop line goes down by $500 each, upsetting the profits, supply chains, and people who recently bought the non-Retina models.
"The PC industry over the years, the way that companies competed were two things: specs and price. And so people would want to say, "I've got the largest drive," or, "I've got the fastest processor," or in the camera business people began to say, "I've got the most megapixels."
The truth is, customers want a great experience, and they want quality. They want that "Aha!" moment each time that they use the product. And that's rarely a function of any of those things. These are things that technology companies invent because they can't have a great experience, and so they talk about the spec of something. - Tim Cook
When do you guys think the Haswell refresh will happen? I'm in dire need of a new laptop, but I can wait a couple months if it means a new Processor/spec bump. Fwiw, I'm interested in the 15" rMBP

Haswell should happen between May 27 and June 7, 2013. Not sure when Apple decides to refresh them, but it should happen pretty soon afterwards.When do you guys think the Haswell refresh will happen?

I love my 15" MacBook Pro, but the minute they make a retina MacBook Air, I'm sold!
