After updating my device to iOS 18.0, I encountered a significant problem: my iPhone is now stuck on the lock screen and is completely unresponsive. This issue has rendered my device unusable, and I am unable to access any of its features or functions. In an effort to resolve this problem, I have diligently followed several troubleshooting steps, which I would like to outline for your reference: Force Restart: I attempted a force restart of my iPhone by quickly pressing and releasing the Volume Up button, followed by the Volume Down button, and then pressing and holding the Side button until the Apple logo appeared. Unfortunately, this did not resolve the issue. Recovery Mode: Next, I connected my iPhone to my computer and opened iTunes (or Finder on macOS Catalina and later). I then followed the steps to put my device into recovery mode. I was presented with options to either update or restore my device. I chose the "Update" option to reinstall iOS without erasing my data. However, the device remains stuck on the lock screen. Checking for Hardware Issues: I ensured that my device was adequately charged and used the original Apple charging cable. I also checked for any visible signs of hardware damage, but everything appears normal.

I would greatly appreciate any guidance or solutions you could provide to help me resolve this issue. If there are additional troubleshooting steps I should consider
