I'm not sure if you are being sarcastic or not but I'd point out that he probably wasn't using the thing continuously for all 65 hours until his rescue. Also when in stand by mode my iPhone lasts for many days w/o a recharge so I'd say this story is quite believable.
When in Europe, with data off, in standby mode my android lasted about 4-5 days with one charge, with few phone calls and some texting in between. Basic light usage.
In the US, with 3g, some web usage it lasts about two days. With heavy usage, about one day.
Way to sensationalize and exploit a human tragedy. Way to trivialize suffering.

Of all the stories, both happy and sad, you choose to publicize the one about one of your own, and his gadget. If 200 thousand people didn't die, I would be all ears, listening to how vacationing business man used his iPhone to evade death.
