No in the 2012 MacBook Pro Retina you cannot upgrade the ram to 16gb, you actually cant upgrade the ram at all. However in other MacBook Pro's many people have doubled the claimed maximum amount. Simply because apple says 8gb is the maximum amount doesnt make it true, I have 16gb's in my (Mid 2012 13" MacBook Pro) and apple says the maximum ram is 8gb so take what they say with a grain of salt.

No! The 2012 MacBook Pro ‘‘Retina’’ cannot upgrade the RAM to 16 GB after purchase,
-
ps.The Life expectance of the retina models are 2 years, Apple is selling out what used to be a company that was dedicated to the users is now only worried about profit and made many if not all of the past models upgradeable parts now non upgradeable in the newer models. (i.e MacBook Pro Retinas and MacBook Air's) They have now started glueing the Retina models battery to the case with an abundant amount of glue and they are non replaceable with a life expectancy of 10K charges. Well you ask what does that mean? in means the average persons MacBook Pro Retina will only last 2 years (and degrade by $4 every time you plug it in) Apple needs to go back to how they were when the became who they once were.
