my iPhone xs opens but then freezes on the "Connected to Computer" screen. It was inthe midst of IOS update (connected to my laptop), before it finished, I did disconnect it and that was the start of my problem... maybe new IOS is only part loaded?

If you did disconnect your iPhone from your computer during the update process, it could potentially corrupt iOS.


At this point, I would suggest that you try restoring your phone to its factory configuration. You can then try updating it again.
