iphone 13 stuck on diagnostic mode

Hello everyone, I have a problem with the diagnostic mode on my iPhone 13, I bought this phone brand new, and when I turn on the phone, it goes into diagnostic mode, but the phone does not come out of this mode.I tried to update this phone via itunes it updated successfully but the problem still remains, and there’s an exit diagnostics button whenever i tap it it restarts my iPhone and then do the same thing all over again! PLEASE NOTE that i not live in america, and becouse of that i cant message to APPLE SUPPORT its not working in my country,

iPhone XS Max, iOS 16

Who did you buy it "brand new" from? It clearly wasn’t “brand new” - most likely it was a phone that was returned for service, and stolen from the supply chain.

If that doesn’t work you have been sold a stolen phone.
