Best Buy and Verizon both show it available for pre-order, but Apple has it available for in-store pickup.

I was actually hoping to use me Best Buy rewards on it, but they don’t even have a date. Verizon shows 12/29 but I feel like that’s just a 2017 placeholder date or something.

What’s the deal here? Is there some kind of exclusivity deal or something?
 
I was thinking the same thing, as I wanted to use my Best Buy Gift Cards but got sick of waiting. Eventually bought at Apple Store, and, so far so good! Like the ease of charging!
