Did “everything” include attempting to force-restart the phone:


  • Press and quickly release VOLUME UP


     then

  • Press and quickly release VOLUME DOWN


     then

  • Hold the SIDE button until an Apple logo appears (15-30 seconds), ignoring "slide to power off" if it appears


The operative word here is QUICKLY; and try it a couple of times, the timing is a little tricky.

If your current iPhone was not backed up and is now catastrophically damaged, its information is gone.


Hopefully starting tomorrow regular backups will be part of your routine.

Good luck at the Apple Store.
