iOS 13 Nightmare

So you couldn't restart it by following these instructions-->Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

And you couldn't force restart it by following these instructions-->If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won't turn on or is frozen - Apple Support

And you couldn't restore it to factory settings by following these instructions-->Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support

In that case it has a hardware problem. Make a Genius Bar appointment to have it checked out-->Genius Bar Reservation and Apple Support Options - Apple

BTW, when you take it in the three steps I have listed will be the first things the Apple tech tries.

Hi,

I believe we have the same dilemma here.

After I downloaded and installed iOS 13, my iPhone XS has been in its glitchiest ever. Like any normal upgrade, it will restart a couple of times, but this time, after the restart, there are boxes appearing in all icons in home (network, time, camera, flashlight, etc.). The click function does not even work that makes me unable to log-on and input my password after the reset. When I click a certain point, such as "swipe-up to open", it does not proceed or it does other stuff such as camera. I have tried a couple of things to resolve this but still not successful such as:

1. Restarting the unit for a couple of times with hours in interval
2. Plugging the device into my Macbook, but still cannot proceed because I can't input my password in the phone
3. Hard reset can't also be done due the glitchy click function.

Basic troubleshooting:

Restart, Reset, Restore from backup and Restore as New.

Did you try a forced restart?

Then take it to an Apple Store for help if you have done the basic troubleshooting steps we have suggested.

Then your only option is to go to an Apple store for help.

Hi,

I can't even log on to my phone at the very least. I'm stuck at the home page.
