Erasing all content and data off of iphone?

I currently switched phones and am trying to get all my text, photos and videos onto my new device. When i got the phone i had an old back up so all my current info on the old phone was not transferred over. I recently backed up all my current info, if i erase all content and data off the new phone will i be able to do an icloud back up and get everything into the new phone?

Can I unlock a prepaid iPhone SE bought from Target?

Target has a Simple Mobile iPhone SE for $139. Can I buy the iPhone and activate it using the simple mobile SIM, then pay a 3rd party unlocking company to unlock the phone? Can companies put permanent locks on devices for a specified amount of time? Or can it be unlocked anytime?

When do new iPhone models ship?

I'm looking to buy a new iPhone as my 6+ has broke. I really don't want to wait that long for a new one but know the keynote is expected to be around 12th of september.

If i do wait until then and pre-order, how long has it taken in past years for the phones to actually arive to the customers (I heard the X took until november but usually they ship before october?)
