Iphone stuck on verifying update and I cannot restart it normally, and the worst part is that it's stuck on my lockscreen and face ID, or password won't work so when I try to restart it the easier way it asks for my password, but since I can't touch the screen it won't work, Help!!
iPhone XR, iOS 16
The method is guaranteed to work unless your phone’s hardware has failed. Try again:

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

Me too! I cant force restart my phone because it has the emergency feature where they call emergency SOS if I keep holding the snooze button down.
Then the only thing to do is contact Apple directly
they have their own special ways of fixing things you and I can’t fix
you shouldn’t need passcode to force restart
GOOD LUCK
and may God bless you and keep you
Have you tried the forced restart?
Force reset:
Quickly press and release volume up then volume down, one after the other, then press and hold power button until Apple logo appears

no no no… you’re doing it wrong…
here is the PROPER way of doing it
hi, yes i have, and since my phone is locked out, i can't use my face ID or my password and then it requires me to use it before I force it to restart, so no luck there
Hi, I tried the above method but is still not working. Any more advice? Will it help by draining off the battery and then re start the phone by charging?
I RESOLVED it, had same issue iPad was stuck on "verifying update", managed to force restart but then update wasn't applied, on retry it get stuck on same 'verifying update' again. I did reset my iPad hoping better results but still same after update it was getting stuck on "verifying update".
Mac wouldn't install iTunes as it required older version of macos so had to install iTunes on Windows 10 pc and then connected iPad to windows PC in iTunes to apply update via iTunes and it finally managed to apply update 17.3 on iPad
Thank you so much!
thank you so much! I really do hope Apple helps and I won't need to buy a new phone.
