My iPhone X is stuck on “Select a Wireless Network” and doesn’t respond to pressing cancel or trying to force a restart. It doesn’t respond to anything. I was in a store when I pulled the phone out of my pocket and it displayed “Select a Wireless Network”, but was unresponsive. Now at home, it remains unresponsive. What can I do?
iPhone X, iOS 12
OK. Tried one more time. In the previous three tries the phone appeared to merely timeout. This time I pressed the side button several times longer than forever and it restarted. To avoid this in the future, I think I need to turn off the automatic join on networks as no new ones ever appear until I travel and there are some like the store I visited today that never complete their login due to my using a VPN on public networks.
thanks all for your help.

If it is frozen, see if this helps: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201412
I think you need to follow the instructions in the article to force your phone into recovery mode and then restore it.
None of those work. I would think that the iPhone 8 or later instructions would work, but the normal shutdown screen appears with the slider to shutdown. I can’t use the slider because the frozen “Select a Wireless Network” box remains in the foreground and prevents me from doing anything else on the screen.
Try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
It’s frozen. I can’t get to settings.
Glad you are finally up and running.
