Perform a Forced Restart on the phone. Follow the instructions very carefully, as this is a bit tricky. You may need to repeat this several times.


Force restart iPhone - Apple Support


There are only 2 possible results when you perform a Forced Restart:


1) The phone returns to normal operation

or

2) There is a hardware problem with the phone that will need attention at the Apple Store (make an appointment) or visit an authorized Apple Service shop
