And the latter means too that unlike in Apple's case, iPhone 7 Plus stocks are on hand for all color options including the elusive Jet Black finish. Apple Insider said it's normally one month of waiting time for the Jet Black 7 Plus when purchasing from Apple but in eBay's case satisfaction is guaranteed real quick.

As a form of bonus, B&H offers discount of $20 to $50 for AppleCare protection to go with MacBook Pro 2016 purchases, further sweetening the already irresistible early Black Friday deals from the reseller.
