How to fix iPhone 16 Pro Max Stuck on Setup?

Setting up new iPhone and transferred number from old phone. New phone appears stuck on "Cellular Setup Complete" with only the greyed out bar at the bottom of the screen and a spinning "thinking" icon. Next step??

Same here. iPhone 16 pro max flashes the unlock keypad screen and the slide to turn off screen for a second with no allowance to do anything. Hello brick. Apple support has no ideas! iPhone scorching hot. I'm hoping the battery drains. What is going on with a $1,599 phone?
