Same here. New iPhone SE. Spent good money on a 18W USB-C Apple charger (fast charger) and an Apple fast charge capable cable. The Apple site says that it should work to fast charge the new iPhone SE. However, I have the same exact problem. It charges for a minute and stops as if the phone cannot handle it. I suspect a bad temp sensor in these phones and it is overheating. Not sure how to get a replacement phone when all of the Apple stores are shut down.
