Hello. Recently i updated to the newest ios 16.5.1 on my iphone xs. During the update it seemed a bit weird as the screen remained black for a while and did not reboot per the norm. after waiting several minutes thinking maybe it is just taking longer? i finally went to restart it myself and found that it was actually already on. The screen just wouldnt show up. Ever since this, I can force restart and the apple logo will appear as it normally does during startup and then nothing. It just goes black and stays black. The screen itself is working (even touch works since i can hold power and swipe right and it will turn the phone off).

I have tried force restarting, i have tried a full restore through itunes and still nothing. The screen comes on when put into restore mode as well.

Anyone have any similar experiences or have any suggestions? thanks in advance!
 
Try turning up the brightness by swiping where the controls would be. If that won't work, you might need to talk to Apple.
