Fully new iPhone 14 doesn't work after reboot.

I bought an iPhone 14. I started setting it up, when I was setting up iCloud, the phone asked for an update to iOS 18.5. I started updating it, it took about 40 minutes, after that it started loading, the loading took about 30 minutes, I got tired of waiting and decided to restart the phone. After I turned it on, I started to open it, but when I raise the "curtain", the phone opens the "curtain" for a second, and also when you press the power, mute and volume buttons, black lines appear on the screen near these buttons, I still can't turn it off, because it turns off for a second, starts loading and turns on again, and lastly, it gets very hot. And I haven't even finished setting it up. Please help or at least reply.

Put it in recovery mode and restore iOS using your computer.

You corrupted iOS when you forcibly restarted it before it was finished updating.

We can't see at what stage you *** with the update, but clearly interrupting it wasn't advisable. Try what the link suggests and you are welcome. You'll get past this.


Ps: There is an issue with the forum, where for some odd reason it doesn't like certain innocent words. What I was saying above is we can't see at what stage you had made it with the update.
