Does Deleting Photos from iPhone Delete from iCloud

Photos are deleted from iCloud as I delete them on my iPhone. So is there no way to get iCloud to keep the photos I delete from the iPhone so that I can download them to my Mac?

Yes, it does if you've activated iCloud Photos.

With a reliable Wi-Fi connection, every photo and video you capture will be automatically synced in iCloud Photos. This feature allows you to access your entire library from any device at any time. 

In other words, any modifications you make to your iPhone photos will also be updated on your other devices such as iCloud Photos, iPad, or Mac.

However, in reality, many users are grappling with a common issue. They find that the photos saved in iCloud are being deleted after removal from their iOS devices. This is a significant concern for those who wish to save the limited storage space by directly downloading their necessary iPhone photos to their PCs.
