What do I do if the restoration through iTunes does not work?

I tries to restore and update my iPhone XS through iTunes, but it does not work and I cannot restore it to factory at all. I have the support.apple.com/iphone/restore message on my phone when I plug it into my computer and it will not turn on at all. I tried doing a hard reset and nothing worked. Do I need to get a new phone?

iPhone XS Max, iOS 13

iPhone XS won’t restore Hi there I am looking for some help, I have an iPhone XS that was working fine and then it shutdown and restarted in recovery mode. The memory on the phone was full at the time and I was hoping to save all the memories on it but it has got to the point I would rather the phone was working. I think I have tried everything to get the phone to reboot but nothing has worked. Every time I get it connected to iTunes and starting to reboot halfway through the screen flashes white and it restarts in recovery mode again. To get the phone to connect to the computer I have to put it into dfu mode every time.

If the phone won't power on at all, of course it can't be restored.

Make an appointment at the Genius Bar.
