Me and my brother both purchased an iPhone SE right before the 7 came out, so we've had them for awhile. And we've noticed they have the same issues just mine being worse. These issues arise when the camera and flash light are being used.
When it started, if I opened the default iOS camera app, it freezes randomly. I can't shoot videos with it so I have to use other apps. My brothers is the same way, he has to use the snapchat camera. If I turn on the flash light it'll randomly freeze my phone again and take awhile for it to stop. Then the flash turns off but the button still says it's on, and if I want to use the flash again I have to restart it. Now for the newest problem, whenever I use Any camera app it immediately crashes the phone. If you know what a RAM crash looks like on a PC, that's what my screen ends up looking like. But now it does this all the time out of nowhere. When it crashes it gets stuck in a reboot loop and after it vibrates, it crashes again over and over with the same screen. Or sometimes it does other different patterns. After it reboots itself enough it then turns on. Sometimes it turns on and everything is okay, sometimes it turns on and the screen is washed out and the back light is blinking. But to clarify it is not a problem with the LED. It is a hardware problem with, what I'm guessing to be the rear camera which interferes with everything else. My brother's phone does what mine did except for the hard crashes. Should also clarify they are not jailbroken, I'm not asking for tech support and restoring iOS won't fix a hardware issue, if only 1-800-my-apple knew that.
Does anyone else have issues like this with the iPhone SE?
