“I have no idea who locked it in 2015,” she said. At that time, the iPhone displayed a message saying it would unlock in 80,000 hours.

This usually happens when you hand your phone to your toddler.

But don't you have to first wait minutes, then hours, then days etc. before you finally get to 10 years? That's some dedixated toddler

Have you ever met a toddler? Try doing peekaboo 4 times with a 3-year-old and then tell them you're bored. Unless you're willing to deal with screams for 16 hours, you're only about 996 peekaboos away from a satisfied toddler.

Locking an iphone for only 10 years sounds like a toddler with a short attention span.
