You'd basically have to wait in the crazy line on launch day and buy a phone at full retail, and that's assuming they'd have the color/capacity of your preference.
For both the iPhone SE & 7, I walked into the store Saturday morning (the day after launch for both devices) and bought both with no problems getting the color/capacity/model that I wanted.
But, I see what you're saying about ordering online. That's especially important for people who don't live close to a store.
Dumb question, but how does the Apple website verify that you're a customer of the carrier that you are buying the phone version for? Does the Apple website require your Sprint log-in to buy the Sprint model phone?

You're most welcome.
