No they did a fast and slow charging group for iPhone, and also did a fast and slow charging group for Androids. Did you not pay attention.
The video was pretty poorly structured to be honest, should have been longer with better information and they didn't post their data anywhere to read. I mean they had ~30 seconds just growing plants...
But the point stands, they weren't testing 1 to 1 on batteries (hard to do anyway). There's good reasons for why manufacturers havent just cranked it all to 200W charging.
The video isn't a sudden revelation, we already knew how batteries behave, they've been tested in labs under much more strenuous conditions too.
