Like the ipads, Could it be that the retina MBPs have glue that burns off over time? Also i unchecked enable font smoothing because i am using a scaled resolution of 1680x1050. For some reason the screen looks better. Go figure

Not sure about the glue, but the font smoothing turned off does help with scaled resolutions. Thanks for the tip.

I've noticed that sometimes the color profile on my iMac (under the Displays Preferences) changes randomly on start-up from a calibrated setting to something else. I know it changes because all the colors (particularly the whites) are wrong. To fix, I simply go into the Display preferences and reset it to the correct setting.

Bring your Retina MacBook Pro in to an Apple store and take a photograph with your machine next to another machine to confirm you're not just imagining the loss of yellowing. But I think I understand what you're describing because I experience it too. But it doesn't last.
