It does require the phone to have battery charge.
The context was “Everyone does use the internet for everything today” and “most people don't even realize how the internet is running literally everything”. You don’t need the internet for your phone to have a battery charge.
They were providing some illustrative examples: most people rely on the internet for maps. If they don't have internet (because their battery is flat) they can't do xyz.
I was referring to the claim that they couldn't phone someone to pick them up.
