iPhone X Bricked while updating, must use Apple Cable to update?

It is a helpful response. You need help. You have manufacturers warranty. Apple will help you. Did you think I was going to get in my car and drive over to fix whatever is wrong on your phone? If the link which I provided doesn't offer a solution for you, I can't fix whatever is wrong. Call Apple or live with a bricked phone. Your choice.

You could try using the Apple cable that came with your iPhone.

Are you telling me that you live in an area where yours is the only phone that is available for use? It that is the case go here: Contact - Official Apple Support

No, and using the Apple cable may not work especially if the other cable you have his a certified Made for iPhone cable, which it probably is since you never received any messages while using it. It is just one more thing you can do prior to contacting Apple.

Recovery can be a bit tricky and often requires multiple tried to get it to work. Try the steps outlined in this link:

If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Great attitude when someone tried to help you. Which I won't be doing anymore. It's a new phone. Call Apple.

Then call Apple directly. 1-800-MY-APPLE

If you are not getting the help you want here calling Apple is the sensible way to go.

Your iPhone is not the only phone on the planet.

No one you know has a phone you can use to make a phone call? Then get in your car and go to your local Apple Store for assistance.

Do you have an Apple cable? (one came with the phone)

If you do you should try using it.
