temporarily

the solution to get out the bricked state is to force-reboot the phone

That's not "temporarily" at all.

    I would consider this temporary since a restart can fix it. Especially compared to boot looping which is definitely not temporary

    Temporarily, I would consider something that happens for maybe 10 seconds and then it continues normally afterwards. Temporarily is not a state where you have to do something to get out of it. If you need to force-reboot it, it is not temporarily. But then again, they also call it "bricked state“, which was something usually meant for permanently dead with no solution = your device is now as useful as a brick.

    I have never heard anyone call a frozen system temporarily frozen if you had to reboot it to recover. Sorry, I'm ranting, but putting in "temporarily” in this context is just downplaying the issue as if it's normal to reboot your phone.

    And it’s starting to going viral on social media as some kind of iPhone prank to do on your friends.

    I swear every article I read nowadays is either fully AI or has gone unedited. It's unfortunate that companies no longer believe they need to pay attention to quality.

    If you try and reproduce this glitch, and you can’t get it to work for you, you might need to repeat the swipes a couple times

    So not really a problem then, unless you’re determined for it to be a problem
