iPhone se just decides to quit randomly ..and more often

another_casualty

Howdy ! 

The model I have is approx 3 years old . Not sure if this has anything to do with battery life , or if there's a bug in it somewhere .
I may purchase the newer version later in the year , but  if this problem is solved I could hold fire for a while. 

Any ideas ? 

Thanks in advance ..

Screen goes black . Eventually the Apple logo appears. 

I could open the weather app for example, then phone shuts down until I charge  battery ..

Reads as battery is the first thing to check .

If you operate the phone with the charger plugged in does it fail?

Great question . 

Plugging the phone in the charger works .  All ok when charger plugged in .

I think you're right . Having said that and due to all the constant updates, I'll probably buy the new version after Apple have another announcement of how great they are . This may men an improvement on their current model( if that makes sense )😼

That's unlucky for the battery to go south after only 3 years

Apple had got massive flack about their deliberate ways of draining down the batteries on their products over the last few years , and only recently apparently are trying to make amends and are now promoting better battery life among other things . 

I like the products but not the company anymore . Another story 😼

My SE battery is at 91% health after 4+ years so fingers crossed it'll go another year - though along with iphone 6s, won't get iOS 15 apparently :-/
