Nah, that just doesn't make any sense at all.
It even contradicts their own numbers, which calculated the charge time for an average phone to 1 - 5 minutes [0].
IMO this article is just a hot mess cobbled together by someone who doesn't have the faintest idea about what he's even writing about.

Well it's a quote, so the author of the article didn't write the claim. There's another article out there which inserts a word: "iPhone sized coin cell", which makes a little more sense.

The design of the iPhone and coin cell are similar. The iPhone battery is essentially a wrapped up coin cell.

In comparison a package battery like in an EV is made up of many individual cells to provide higher voltages. An iPhone can run on 3 or 4 volts, but a Tesla cannot.
Are iPhone batteries considered coin cells? Isn't a coin cell like the ones shown here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Button_cell which are much smaller in capacity? If he is indeed referring to a 2000-4000mAh battery size then that is amazing.
