It sound like the above-mentioned article is referring to the reservation system Apple used for the 7 series.
Can someone confirm if we can still purchase the phone online and choose instore pick up?
This is a reservation only and it’s different from purchasing it online but according to the Article that I read from CNET today, other counties can make reservation starting Nov 4th without paying anything until they get to the store which is the same case for me 2 years ago in the US. Right now, in the US only, they are saying they now require a payment before you pick it up in the store in order for you to make the reservation. I find this ridiculous! The only difference from online ordering is that the system is only looking at the stock in your local store. If they have it available at you local store, you can reserve it.
