They don't often lower prices. Their justification for that is, "Well we don't raise prices either..." but I don't expect them to drop prices at any point before announcing the next gen of MBP. This has been their model forever.

They significantly dropped the price of the MacBook Air and retina a couple of iterations in.

Never raise prices? Ha! Try living overseas. Apple regularly raises and lowers prices to match local currency to USD exchange rates. They also seem quicker to raise them in response to exchange rates than to lower them. I can't blame them for the adjustments themselves but the raise fast, lower slow, behaviour is irritating and stinks of profiteering.
