My phone blacked out on me for 15 minutes before I got it back and working again.. and now I decided to rant about my phone issues..
A year and half ago, I upgraded my phone to the Apple iPhone 6 plus 64gb and since then I have had on-going problems. As much as I love Apple, my phone was not worth the upgrade. I honestly wished I waited until the 2nd gen, the Apple iPhone 6S plus. I paid $499+ tax + $50 activation. 
Problems I have encountered?
- My camera resolution is crap. Last year on my actual birthday, my camera went out - it worked but totally blurry. I couldn't even capture my birthday dinner/date with my boyfriend. I was super disappointed. My camera got replaced a few days after and a few months later the camera became blurry again. I haven't gone back to Apple store because the crap service I got from them.
As much as I love Apple Products - this has been by far the worse phone I have used.
Prior, I had an Apple iPhone 5, 3S and those worked just great. My boyfriend has the iPhone 5S and his photo quality is amazing versus mine.
Now, my phone once it hits like 40% the battery life drops and sometimes even dies on me out of no where!
And worse of it all is that the problems happen after the warranties out. I will make an appointment sometime this week/month and I'm going to complain as it's the same problem as what they supposedly fixed "my camera". And working in the assembly field of phones in the past once you open a phone to fix one thing, another one can/will probably occur.
What's good about my phone? I am apple to use assorted apps to save money. Like saving money/using coupons to stores like Michaels, Sprouts, Target, WholeFoods, along with selling on Poshmark and being able to socialize on Facebook, Instagram. So the phone IS useful just the one I got is totally bad luck....
Thanks for listening to my rant. Have a great evening! Good Night, myLot! 
I hope your phone isn't going through any problems also!

I encountered such problem with my iPhone 6+ but I returned it to apple and they gave me a new iPhone 6+ and I had no such problems anymore. Now i'm using an iPhone 6s+ and I haven't encountered any problems at all.

@infatuatedbby No i didn't get an upgrade. My husband is using the iPhone 6 plus now. Every year i get a new phone from apple and give the old one to another person. Except the SE because it's a downgrade.

I think anything second generation is the best to go! I had the 5 and the photo quality wasn't the greatest, but the 5S is amazing especially with the retina. The only thing is I don't like the size ~ I'm so used to the bigger screen. What phone do you plan on upgrading to next?
When I upgraded - I was back on a 2 year contract also. But the amount we pay for 4 lines with 10gb shared data + unlimited talk/text , I just logged in as I always thought we paid $140 but it's actually $135 + some change. We cannot beat that price anywhere.
Good night to you too! I hope to get the phone situated soon.

@ScribbledAdNauseum It is their selling strategy - making a second gen... with better improvements. They know the first gen people are excited for the transition then the 2nd one is always better, than theres going be a new one .. and it just rolls like that.

@infatuatedbby I am not sure what I will update to yet. I imagine it will be the second gen of whatever the most current Iphone is. I've heard that the second gens are better so better to go with them. It's funny as you think they'd get it right the first time!

I have been ranting about my Apple iPad too about a week ago here. I never experienced having troubles with my old one but this new one is over heating. I went to Power Mac and they said I have to upgrade it first to check if the heating will still occur but up to now I cannot update it because there's always an error.

There isn't a myLot app, but you can use myLot on your phones browser quite easily. I use myLot.com on my phone all the time and it's easy to navigate and use (to post, comment, even attach photos and what not!)

I have straighttalk service and had a samsung smartphone. The first one was great. It broke and I got a new version and it was absolute junk constantly restarting I hated it. I have a ZTE now and really don't like this one either. It was giving me issues yesterday and when it shut off and was blinking red I thought for sure it was a goner. My son had remembered me saying the battery was getting low so he suggested I charge it and it did the trick. I told my 8 year old that he is a genius!

I'm thinking of replacing it soon. but not with the newer and advance type of phone, I don't like it because the replacement parts are still expensive.

I never had to replace parts besides the camera but it was under warranty. Now that it isn't - I am really hoping they'll still fix it since what they had fixed is the same exact problem..

phones suck big time.
I don't have one currently but if I'm to get a job I think I will have to get one.
i phones are absolutely over priced in my opinion.
I'll just get a cheapo android phone I think.
Paying $500+ for a phone is insane in my opinion...no offence intended.

Yes - insane.. Others were paying $1,000+ for the phone because that's when it just released and I got my hands on it first with contract so I saved more money but my phone was crap. I never had problems before! My previous iPhone 5 was brand new and I used it for 3 years didn't have a problem.. then a used iPhone 5S I got for my boyfriend works even better than mine and was way cheaper! I refer to my boyfriends phones for pictures when we're on the go...
