Hello everyone

I did something stupid, I was setting up my new iPhone 16 plus I got today, and I thought it was stuck on update when I was transferring from another iPhone with is a iPhone 14 Plus, and I turned it off, and on again, now its stuck on hello screen. it had already downloaded the newest update, and it had finished the preparing to update, it was just showing the spinning wheel in the corner for about 30 minutes. have I brined my phone? it turns on and is stuck on hello screen, when I swipe up, it goes back to hello screen right away. it charges when connected to my MacBook, but I can't fint it in finder.

what can I do to fix this?
 
I finally got into restore modus, and the Mac recognized it, restoring from my Mac now. is this the right way to fix this?
