My new iPhone shows my carrier as iPhone 53.0 in my settings

Due to the fact that my settings show my carrier as iPhone 53.0 in my settings, my carrier says they can't do anything until the carrier unlocks it. Unfortunately, my carrier and Apple both have no idea who or what the carrier is. Apple has run diagnostics and said there is nothing wrong with the phone. I have uploaded all my cloud and I can do everything except call people or text non iPhone people. I have no cellular connection.

iPhone 14, iOS 16

While I realize the carrier is reported as "iPhone," if you go to:


Settings -> General -> About


is "No SIM restrictions" reported next to "Carrier Lock?"


If it is, your phone is indeed unlocked.
