Random unresponsiveness on iPhone SE 2nd generation

Gen2 SE routinely and randomly becomes unresponsive. Apple Store reloaded the system without apps and it didn’t help. I see online that this happens a lot. The down-up-off doesn’t usually help.

Iphone 12 Pro Stops Responding! Many times a day my iPhone 12Pro stops responding. I can start it again by resetting/rebooting, but having to do this many times a day is frustrating. Wifi signal is good, storage is good, battery is good. I do don't have this problem with my Macbook.

Lagging iPhone after new update. Is anyone else experiencing issues with the new iOS 18.3.2 lagging their phone? Was fine until this update. Now there are times I go to open say an app and then it’s frozen. I start taping the phone or trying to close the app and nothing works until a good 10sec or so and then will work. Once in the app, I’ll experience more lagging issues like when the qwerty keyboard is coming up or it appears but then you tap any letter and it won’t work. I’m also experiencing issues when trying to ‘select all’ to copy anything like texts. Why does Apple always bring an update to try fix an issue that was never broken. I have been a die hard fan of iPhone from the day they were released. Looks like I’ll be using my business phone, the s24, which has just sat on my draw since new, diverting text and phone calls to that number over to my personal number. Going to be a full time used one now. Over iPhone and the constant issues.

Iphone 12 keeps restarting or hanging quite often (atleast 3-5 times a day) Iphone 12 hangs and restarts automatically every now and then (minimum 5 times a day). Sometimes the iPhone gets automatically switched off and restarts while on a call which is causing so much inconvenience. Recent software update made - IOS 16.2 and it shows upto date.

Do you have any apps that claim to “improve”, “speed up”, “Clean my phone”, “clear memory" or protect against viruses? If so remove them, or even better, restore to factory settings, and don’t reinstall them

Thank you for your reply. Don’t have any apps like that. Apple Store restored the phone to factory settings and it’s still doing it. Also if I wait a couple of minutes it unfreezes. Froze twice writing this.
