Phone's on, but screen's black

My iPhone 14 Pro is turned on -- it's making sounds, and I could hear the phone ring a little while ago -- but the screen is black. All of the articles and videos that address a black screen assume that the phone itself isn't working, but that's not true in my case. I can't call Apple for help with no phone, and they appear to have eliminated the chat function. Please help!


iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 26
