Iphone stuck on loading wheel after ios 16 update

I tried updating my iPhone 12 pro to IOS 16.3.1, it went through the process normally until the end when it turned off and on again. After the apple logo appeared, the screen dimmed a bit and then it became stuck on a frozen loading wheel in the center of the screen. I tried forcing a reboot but once the apple logo appears it just does the same thing. I have tried putting it in recovery mode, connecting it to my PC, and updating through iTunes, but even though it completes the update the same thing happens.

Hey there eisha812,


Thanks for contacting the Apple Support Communities today!

Check your software
Make sure that your device has the latest version of iOS or iPadOS and that your apps are up to date. If the issue continues after updating your software and apps, check your hardware.

Check your hardware
On an iPhone 6 or later, check your battery health under Settings > Battery > Battery Health.
If your battery doesn't need service, and your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch continues to frequently restart or turn off, contact Apple Support.
If your apps quit unexpectedly, learn what to do.
If your device has a frozen screen, doesn't respond, or becomes stuck when you turn it on, learn what to do for iPhoneiPad, or iPod touch.


If you've gone through all the steps above and the issue persists, the next best option would be to reach out to Apple Support directly using this link here: Contact - Official Apple Support


We hope that's able to help.
