You can't say that for certain. Last year was the first time that instore pick up was not available. Every year before that Apple got a lot of publicity with mass queues outside their retail stores.Of course it won't have in stores. Even 4 weeks later, the Jet black was still nowhere to be found. Especially that Plus model.
I picked up AirPods on release day from a retail store and there is still a 4 to 6 week waiting list
