Say a user drops their phone in a desk drawer and goes on an 8 day hiking trip.

Apple isn't going to design a feature that bricks a device after 7 days. It really simple:
1) No unlock for 7 days = USB turned off.
2) Unlock phone any time after 7 days (lets imagine unlocking at 12 days) and USB turns on.
3) Charging remains active at all times.
Simple.
