Post #34 does report they had a kernel panic on their iPhone 13 Mini.
I wanted to chime in that this is also happening on my 4-days-old iPhone SE 2022. Factory reset with iCloud restore didn't work; factory reset without data restore (setting up as new, empty phone) did not work either - the phone keeps randomly restarting, several times a day. Usually it's happening when the phone is on standby and I attempt to press on Home button to wake it up.
I’ve had 2 kernel panics on the SE3 so far (owned for 6.5 weeks) and one was this morning. Hopefully a software update can address this soon.
Wow several times a day? I’ve not had one in several days. I’ve not been using my camera a whole lot, though. I can’t be quite sure but I think I had the most issues on days I was using the camera quite a lot. I’ll try to pay better attention to the circumstances around the next one.
I faced the same dilemma.
So, finally I decided to buy the SE 2020 (128GB) version.
The 2022 is equipped with new hardware (chip, battery) and as we can see there are problems.
I better stick with the older well-tried version that "just works". It is more than enough for my daily needs.

Hi guys. I'm from Malaysia and I think I'm having the same problem. My iPhone SE3 2022 which I've been using since March 2022, has shut down randomly 3 times. (3rd time being today when I left it idle on my table). I really enjoy using this phone and I hope it just needs a software update.
I might do that but I'm starting to get a little impatient. I will probably buy iPhone SE 2020 if it drops further in price, otherwise I will try to wait until the problem with the iPhone SE 2022 is solved. I don't want to replace my crashing Android (budget) with a crashing iPhone...
Unfortunately, we don't know what is the root of the problem, software, hardware or both.
True 😕 I hope it's software related but who knows. Would Apple do a recall or send out a new batch or what? 🤔
They have done recalls before.
It was the case in my 6S (battery and no one knows what else in reality).
Under the hood Apple changed important parts (new processor and new battery).
I hope they will solve this problem and asap.

I’m torn on that. I’m not super comfortable now with my decision, because even though the phone does seem to always revive to working condition, this is really inconvenient and annoying.
In the wrong circumstances it could even be a disaster. In the last few years I’ve relied on these phones for medical emergencies and I don’t like messing around with glitches. I had an iPhone glitch on me once during a 911 call attempt. There was a mess up in how my Apple Watch was set up to work with it and my calls weren’t going out despite it looking like they were dialing out. It was my Samsung phone that got me through that one. It was a harrowing experience to realize my iPhone was not working in such a circumstance.
I really hope Apple can figure this out and address it. I really want this SE 2022 to be reliable because I do enjoy carrying it as my main phone.
Agreed. I'm still in return window and returning mine. Near daily crashes just make it too likely that one day, it will crash when I really need it... Hopefully not 911 levels of needs but it's not a risk I'm willing to take since I'm still in my return window.
I woke up today and my iPhone was turned off. I assume that at some point there was a kernel panic and it just died. Thankfully, I didn't miss work -- my alarm is my iPhone. They had better fix this SOON.
I still wonder if there is some kind of common factor, e.g., if it's a particular configuration/batch that's affected. For what it's worth, I have starlight 128GB ordered on launch day (but not picked up till a couple of days later) and I haven't had this issue (touch wood)...
For those who are experiencing this issue, please make sure to open a support ticket with Apple. It is important to let them know that this issue is widespread.
I have a starlight 128 GB model picked up on the first day it was released. The phone has rebooted multiple times with the same panic-full message.

I just called Apple Support, gave them the information, and uploaded the kernel panic logs. They asked me to bring my phone in to the Apple Store tomorrow to do a hardware diagnostic test. I know they aren't going to find anything, but this is the process we have to go through to get something like this fixed.
Has anyone installed the latest iOS beta software? I would be curious to see if it's still happening with that.
Apple Store gave me a new iPhone SE (3rd gen) 128GB Verizon, same as I had before. I'll let you all know if I still see the kernel panics.
Side note: I went through hell to get this replacement phone (direct from Apple) activated. Verizon Store and Verizon 1-800 customer service could not get the eSIM to work. Ultimately, I had to use a physical SIM. Keep that in mind if you are getting a replacement.
