I had this happen a long time ago. I am sorry to hear you are dealing with this.

It sounds like your iPhone SE is experiencing a significant issue, possibly related to the battery or the system software. When an iPhone restarts frequently and struggles with battery life, it could be due to a degraded battery, especially if the phone is an older model. However, the inability to update and the storage being full for a long time could also indicate software corruption or other system issues.

Here are some steps you can try to resolve the issue:

1. Backup Your Data. If possible, back up your iPhone using iCloud. Be sure that you buy enough iCloud storage or a computer. This ensures you don't lose any critical information if further troubleshooting is required.

2. Force Restart Sometimes, forcing a restart can help with software glitches. To force restart an iPhone SE, press and hold both the home and the top (or side) buttons until you see the Apple logo.

3. Update via iTunes/Finder. If you have a computer, try updating your iPhone through iTunes (on Windows or macOS Mojave and earlier) or Finder (on macOS Catalina and later). This can sometimes bypass issues that prevent updates from occurring on the device itself.

4. Check Battery Health If you can access the settings on your iPhone, go to Battery > Battery Health to check if the battery may need replacing.

5. Free Up More Space

If your storage has been full for a while, it might be beneficial to free up more space than you think is needed. The iPhone requires free space to operate correctly, especially for updates.

6. DFU Restore

As a last resort, you can put your iPhone into DFU (Device Firmware Update) mode and restore it. This wipes the device completely and installs the latest iOS version. Be aware that this will erase all data on your iPhone, so it should only be done if you have a recent backup.

7. Contact Apple Support

If none of these steps work, there may be a hardware issue with your phone. Contacting Apple Support or visiting an Apple Store for a diagnostic could be the next best step.

Please note that if the battery is the culprit, the iPhone might continue to restart even after a software update so it may need a battery replacement.

In your case, considering the update issues and the frequent shutdowns, both the system software and the battery health may be contributing to the problem. A visit to an Apple Store or an authorized service provider might be inevitable.

Keep in mind this is based on the information you've given, and without hands-on diagnostics, it's a best-guess scenario. If you're comfortable with these steps, you might be able to resolve the issue at home. Otherwise, professional support would be the way to go.

PS

The iPhone SE came out in 2016 I would check with your cell provider if there is a good chance that you can replace it with a new iPhone 15 or an older iPhone of your choice. Because of the new launch, you might get a very good deal on a new phone.

My iPhone 13 pro max keeps restarting after every few minutes when using I try all local repairs stations no solution

I presume you have already hard restarted it, in my opinion you should get in touch with Apple Support so they can test the iPhone

Contact – Official Apple Support

Do you have Apple Care or something like it via your carrier?

Try turning off Background App Refresh under each app. Also under the General section of settings you can turn it off there. I turn it off in both places because if you add an app Background App refresh will automatically be turned on.

Also, close any apps that you are not using.

I actually got the same problem to a point where I even exchanged for another SE !

It actually turns out the new one was having exactly the same problem (restarting every 2 minutes).

I could not set the new phone because it was trying to update before starting which was impossible because the software is 6.6Go and it switched before download was completed...

I eventually downloaded on iTunes the newest ios software (17.5 in my case) and rushed to start the installation on the phone (in 2 minutes you have just enough time to start the process).

When the updating started, it stopped switching off and all was just fine.

So I reckon it was a software and not a hardware issue (to have the same problem on two brand new phone is unlikely)

Greetings

my iPhone randomly got restarted today and yesterday. Is here anyone that can tell me the possible reasons?
