I recently visited a porn website, and shortly after that, my iPhone started acting weird. Now, whenever I try to turn it on, it just lags a bit for a few seconds and then shuts off completely. I can't even enter my password in that time. Also, I've noticed the Apple logo changes colors slightly as it boots up, sometimes appearing orange or grayish. I didn't download anything; I just visited the site. Could this mean I have a virus? Can anyone help?

It sounds like there’s a serious issue with your iPhone that coincidentally happened after your website visit. Recording a video of the issue might help others figure out what’s wrong with it.
It's really unlikely that you have a virus. What you're describing sounds more like a hardware or software issue. You might want to try a hard restart. Just tap the volume up, then the volume down, and then hold down the lock button until the screen turns off. Let go once the Apple logo appears.
That didn't work for me, and now I'm really freaking out. Not sure what else to do.
This seems like a hardware issue rather than anything related to the website. Try posting the symptoms and your device model on a repair forum, like r/mobilerepair, and see what fixes they suggest.
You definitely don’t have a virus. Just try restarting your iPhone again. It might help to connect it to a charger first, as it seems like it’s completely off and unresponsive right now.
I can't restart it since it keeps shutting off after a few seconds of lag. What should I do?
I tried that, but it just says it's dead. At least that's a little progress? I'll update once it's charged.
