iPhone Hung on Apple Logo

After applying the 13.2 upgrade, I was dealing with a space issue when I restarted my phone, and it only displayed the Apple logo. I was still able to connect through my watch, but the phone screen was unresponsive.

Resolving it by restoring from a backup required the forth solution from this site:

  1. When your device is connected to the computer, open iTunes on your computer.
  2. Then on your iOS device, quick-press and release the Volume Up button.
  3. Now, quick-press and release the Volume Up button. 
  4. Finally, press and hold the Power button until the Recovery Mode screen (Connect to iTunes screen) appears.

It took several attempts to find the right timing, and a careful eye to see the latest backup, but it worked in the end.
