My iphone turned to a brick while updating IOS with charger cable connected.

I allowed the mid-night IOS updating(it seems IOS16.x) with charger cable connected in last evening.
When waking up in this morning, I only see an apple logo and a status bar left on the screen.
I tried below a/b/c ways to reboot my iphone, No any response(still see an apple logo and a status bar on the screen).

a.press power for 10+ seconds.

b.press power + volumn up together for 10+ seconds.

c.press power + volumn up together for 10+ seconds.

(1) Try and Force Restart your iPhone EXACTLY as shown below and see whether that resolves the issue:

Press and quickly release Volume UP button
Press and quickly release Volume DOWN button
Press and Hold the SIDE button until an Apple logo appears and then release the Side button (Can take up to 20 seconds. (DO NOT release Side Button when invited to Slide Power OFF).

(2) If the above does not work then - Follow the instructions in this article by Apple ➔ If your iPhone is Non-Responsive or Frozen and see if that helps.
