If it was a “bug” it would affect hundreds of millions of iPhones, and you would see thousands of posts about it and news stories in every major tech publication. I’m not saying the issue isn’t real for you, but it is a problem with your phone, not something that Apple can magically fix without seeing your phone.


However, there’s a good chance you can fix it yourself with a forced restart:


  • Press and quickly release VOLUME UP


     then

  • Press and quickly release VOLUME DOWN


     then

  • Hold the SIDE button until an Apple logo appears (15-30 seconds), ignoring "slide to power off" if it appears


The operative word here is QUICKLY for the first two buttons, then a long hold for the SIDE button; and try it a couple of times, the timing is a little tricky. If done correctly this will always work unless the phone has a hardware problem.
