Getting Out of Restore:
Connect this to a computer(Mac or Windows PC) using a USB-C cable. And then Force Restart it while it’s connected. Be certain in that your computer is connected to the Internet and into external power while performing this. Use my User Tip: How to Fix an iPhone in a Boot Loop - User Tip
