Let me just echo what others have said, with an anecdote. After the system update for the iPhone, the screen does stay dark for a long time. What Apple may not have addressed is the fact that "The Black Pause" lasts more than a few minutes. The phone seems to take a long time to reconfigure itself. More than once I have been tempted to abort the process because I was myself in panic mode. New users may be especially in panic mode. Every time I give the phone time to do its business, it comes back okay. Apple may have issued a warning or caution at some point, but I'm a longtime user and have been an Apple guy since the early 80's, and I had to find this forum to calm my nerves. Bottom line: In most cases, give it time, and the iPhone will eventually get the update handled and come back to life. The advice about soft reset also works. It's a good idea to check this forum before jumping off a bridge or throwing your iPhone into the swimming pool in frustration.
