Have you tried this?


1. Try Recovery Mode via Mac (Finder) or PC

If a standard force restart didn't work because the iOS installation or reset process was interrupted, you can push the phone into Recovery Mode to let your computer reinstall or update the system. 

  1. Connect your iPhone 13 Pro to your Mac (open Finder) or PC (open iTunes or the Apple Devices app) using a verified USB cable.
  2. Quickly press and release the Volume Up button. 
  3. Quickly press and release the Volume Down button. 
  4. Press and hold the Side button and do not let go when the Apple logo appears. Keep holding it until you see the Recovery Mode screen (a cable pointing to a laptop or computer). 
  5. On your computer, a prompt will appear saying there is a problem with the iPhone. Choose Update first (this attempts to reinstall iOS without erasing data). If that fails, repeat the steps and choose Restore.
