You have 30 days at least. Think it may be 2 months now. You can also do it over the phone. It's pretty painless. I'd recommend it.

I'm switching back to iPhone after a long hiatus. The last iPhone that I owned was the 4s. My phone is coming tomorrow but I have one lingering question. If I enable iCloud on my iPhone will all my photos automatically get uploaded to the cloud? And if it does when I decide to delete the photos off of my phone will the photos still be on my iCloud?

I thought no Jet black 7+ Units would be available on launch day?

All phones that Apple sells for full price come unlocked. I've been pricing out models on their site and all for all four carriers, when purchasing a phone at full price, the site says it's unlocked on the summary page.
99% chance this is a scam auction. The retail price after taxes is at least $1,000, and eBay + PayPal fees are $142.20 on an $1,100 price. Add in at least $10 for shipping with insurance and the seller is losing $52.20.
You can do it in-store, over the phone, or online (but apparently online doesn't work). You have 60 days.

There's different parts of iCloud. For iCloud backup, your Messages will be backed up, including attachments within them, and you have no way to control that. For photos in your Camera Roll, you can disable backup of them. If you disable them in the backup, you can still enable them in Photo Stream, which saves the last 1,000 across all iCloud devices you have.
If you delete any photos from your Photo Stream, they'll be deleted from the cloud across all devices, but not from your Camera Roll, which is where Photo Stream photos come from.

Yes, but until the SIM-free model comes out they have to be connected to a carrier account. Except the T-Mobile one, but if you grab that one you can't use it in Verizon or Sprint

They are available through preorder shipments, just not for walk-in customers at Apple stores.

Hey I could be getting scammed but everything is through eBay and PayPal so at least I'll have my ass covered!

It could be a picture of an iPhone 7 Plus Jet Black.

I don't know what model you have so I priced a 16gb black unlocked 5. You'll get $35 from NextWorth, $40 from Gazelle, $50 from Apple, and about $110 after fees and shipping from eBay.
The dude has 4 feedback. I would cancel ASAP.

As a follow up, he has another auction up for the same model. He says he's ordered 7. While that's technically possible (using a friend's account, having multiple upgrade lines available), the price he's selling them for is impossible.

Do what you want but don't complain if there's problems.

How has he got 7 jet black pluses?
Unless they coming in a few weeks and he is just preordering.

Plus price was raised by $20 and they outsold the regular size.
I don't know if I'm reading it correctly so if I enable backup on my Camera Roll to the cloud then I can delete the photos on my phone and my photos would still be on the cloud?
Cancel immediately.
you'll have your ass covered
but you'll still be out of a thousand dollars for a few weeks while everything gets sorted
why do this

Yes, but you only have 5gb of free storage so if you're a shutterbug you would most likely need to buy a paid plan (still pretty cheap, for example 50gb for $1/month) to make sure you have enough room to store your Camera Roll. Photo Stream compresses images and videos but Camera Roll gets backed up at full uncompressed quality, so if you have a single 5 minute 4K video that's gonna take up over a gig in storage right there. And if you send that video to someone in Messages that's another gig. So just be mindful about what you're doing if you want to just use the free storage, or just pay a small fee to not have to really worry about it.
Thank you! That's what I wanted to know. Yah, I know about the paid plan and I'll definitely go that route since I bought the 32GB version and just wanted to make sure my photos would get save on my cloud if I decide to free up space on my phone.

Here's some more information if you want to use iCloud Photo Library (different from Photo Stream). It counts against your iCloud storage but focuses specifically on Photos if you don't want to have to enable a full backup of your phone to back up the Camera Roll.

I've always found iCloud Photo Library and Photo Stream pretty confusing conceptually in terms of what gets distributed where, how and when Very Important Things get deleted or not, etc. Not sure the average consumer is going to figure it out without screwing stuff up first. Apple's current cloud photo solution seems way too complicated. I just leave all that turned off and back up manually to Photos on the Mac. They really need to take another pass at it and make it dead simple.
I just decided the same.
Next year's upgrade is going to be spectacular and my 6 is still holding up beautifully. Zero complaints whatsoever. And I like getting a phone with a brand new design so the 7 series just isn't that mindblowing to me just yet. I'm getting an Apple Watch this year and a new iPhone next year.
But man, tech lust is ever present just looking at this thread.

Definitely not an STD, as I'm a pure.
Mine departed Orlando, FL a couple of hours ago. Now it's in the town next to me, right over the bridge. Hopefully that means UPS will deliver it early in the afternoon, instead of evening/night like they always do for my house. So excited, it's only a few miles away.

Only 4 feedback... stock photo... absurdly low price for product that isn't even out yet...
Jesus dude, why?
I'm in the same boat, but i decided to take a different course.
Replace my 6 with a 7 (i want 3D touch and a better camera so bad!) and If (and we're still talking about rumors) the upgrade next year is such a huge redesign, just upgrade again.
I couldn't imagine how disappointed i'd be if i had been holding out for the unicorn phone "iPhone 10 year anniversary edition", and Apple announced a regular iPhone 7S next year.
Dang it. I think I screwed up. I was going to be out all day so I changed my pick up to the ups distribution center cause I was afraid they wouldn't leave it at my door. It didn't say it was out for delivery so I figured I was safe. For a moment it said delivery the 19th now it says unavailable.
Ughhh! Why did I have to change it?!

i thought about selling my new iPhone 7 on eBay but a 6 month return window is just too risky.

Hello

* that's 4.0 surround sound, right there
* you can charge one, while listening to music via your wired headphones on the other!

Nah man, the silver looks really nice with the brown apple leather case, very gentlemanly.
I have a silver iPhone 6. It's the worst color out of all of them. Just so bland and lifeless without any of the stealthy, sleek qualities of black.
It's the Hyundai minivan of phones.

Not being "stealthy" is why I'm finally going with something other than black/gray after so many years year. All of my furniture is dark, and I'm tired of having to hunt for my phone overtime I go out.
Although I guess since the 6s came out you can use Hey Siri all the time which might alleviate that issue.

My card finally got charged last night and order changed to "Preparing for Shipment". I have no idea what that really means since my ship date still displays 9/23rd delivery.
