iPhone stuck on update screen, cannot turn off

I tried to update my phone to 16.7.13 and it says it is unavailable. The problem I have is the screen says it is trying to update. I cannot get this notice shut off. It will not let me even turn off my phone with that screen notice showing. How can I get rid of that. Any help will be appreciated.



iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 16
