As I said, it was a speed bump. Not an update, or even an "update". Intel offered them faster CPUs at the same or lower unit cost.

I realize the price didn't change but by the same token, we're talking about spending 2k on a machine that is branded as new and improved yet is based on the Haswell chipset. Correct me if i'm wrong but didn't the MBPs go to Haswell in 2013?. Granted it will be a bit faster, but my point is we're paying for a premium computer, Id rather wait until I see more current chipset.
The price might have dropped.
And then Apple added a brand new hot off the press GPU, which is clearly smaller and more efficient than the outgoing chip which allowed Apple to add in more battery.
So the price went back up to where it was before
Oh and new SSD + Trackpad...

Price did change but. In India the new model (GPU version with 512 GB SSD and 2.8Ghz Cpu ) is 199000 rupees. Which comes out to be 3100 dollars.
