Just a little update. Thanks to
@6thDAY , I checked apple.com and checked my location and the 7 Plus 256 GB Black Model was available for pick up for the Sim-Free model. I did check istocknow.com and apparently they haven't updated their website yet when in fact the sim-free 7 Plus was available at store when visiting apple.com. So I cancelled my order which did state 3-4 weeks and ended picking one up. So if you are still looking. Keep checking. Hopefully istocknow.com will update their website to reflect the apple.com
