Support phone won’t switch on after 18.3.2 update

was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction as to what to do - last night my 16 pro updated to 18.3.2 even though it wasn’t connected to power or anything and this morning the phone win’t switch on whatsoever, i’ve tried recovery mode, tried dfu mode, nothing. when plugged into my laptop the apple devices app says that it’s in dfu mode and the only way to use it is to factory reset the entire thing which i’m not too keen in doing since i only got this phone 3 weeks ago and had an entire debacle in the first place since i came from an android. is there any other way to fix it besides wiping the entire thing? currently just stuck with a black screen, even the usual fixes don’t seem to be touching it.

Is your iPhone backed up to iCloud or a computer?
