iPhone 16 plus got stuck on this screen

Just bought an iPhone 16 plus and whilst playing with it got stuck on this screen with voice over. No idea how to switch it off as cannot get to the home page. The voice over is so annoying and cannot get to any settings. Asking for passcode which I input then asked for tuv and I cannot access anything. Pl can anybody help before am losing it.

Can you not just turn it off and restart it. It happened to mine it did work for me

To turn off an iPhone 16, simultaneously press and hold the side button and either volume button until the "slide to power off" is displayed.

Choose the wrong button and you'll make an emergency call. 

The correct sequence is press and release volume up, press and release volume down, press and hold the side button until the Apple logo appears.

It would be pretty dumb not to select the correct option, they are half a screen apart,  Either sequences is correct.

Have done that many times accidentally - have tried to disable it, but to no avail.

In the end went to the town repair shop and paid £10 to have it reset as it was doing my head in.
