Cross upgrades now easier at Apple store?

[wilymon]

I found this post on Reddit:

http://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/1mcu0x/apple_store_will_do_att_upgrade_swaps_cross/

The Redditor explains that their systems were just upgraded and "now they can do everything in one swoop without any new SIMs or calling the carriers for AT&T and Verizon".

Besides this one post, I haven't heard anything about this. Can any other Apple employees here confirm this? Thanks.

Cross-grades were never difficult for me at Apple Stores. I would let them upgrade the other line, then slam my SIM into the new phone. Waltz into an ATT store and get a new sim for the other line and slam it into their phone.

except thats not a true cross upgrade. At the AT&T stores if you do a cross upgrade, you never need to swap sims or get a new one

that right there. At Apple, 2 of my lines will go down until i take those phones to the AT&T store to get new sims. I'm not bringing my whole family with me to the apple store.
