According to the memo, users should wait for the pop-up to close. They shouldn’t attempt to restore the phone if that doesn’t happen. Customers must go to an Apple Store or an authorised service provider instead to seek technical support to fix the issue. The company further added in the memo that they are investigating the issue and mentions it’s not a hardware problem, advising customers to keep their software up to date.
