iTunes closes during iOS18.3 update iPhone 14 Pro

While updating with Win 11 iTunes, iTunes automatically closes. Now iTunes won't detect my phone. Tried with Apple Devices app. Stuck at 50% with no progress or error codes. Using USB A as using USB C causes "1109" error. Now my phone is a brick.

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 17

iPhone 11 freezes on iOS update and shuts down iTunes Got a notification to update phone to iOS 18.2.1 (I think). I have a lot of music on my phone, so I connect to iTunes to handle the update. In the early stages of the process (progress bar at ~5%), iTunes shut down. Now phone is stuck at the 5% level. Have tried hard restart and both update/restore options but get the same result - iTunes shuts down. When I reopen iTunes, it doesn't seem to recognize the phone (but oddly does been when I disconnect/connect it). any ideas???

iOS 18.3 update lockup on iPhone SE (Gen 2) with iTunes I tried to update to 18.3 on Jan. 28. - iPhone SE, Generation 2. I have two of these phones, for different numbers. They were on 17.2.1 (I think), and both have been working fine with my PC and iTunes. BOTH PHONES LOCKED UP DURING THE UPDATE. They are stuck in the process - with the Apple Logo and a progress bar, about 5% complete (or so). There was no plugging them back in, the PC and iTunes did not recognize them at all. No attempts to reboot or restart the phones had any effect at all. I tried rebooting the PC, restarting iTunes, phones plugged in and unplugged. Nothing works. Help!!! [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Had to send to Apple. Settled. Advice to all, don’t install both iTunes and Apple Devices apps at the same time. iTunes will not be able to detect your device.
