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.

Come now, everyone knows the iPhone battery wouldn't last 55 hours.

You think it's possible he had one of these?

If I were traveling to a country like Haiti where reliable power might be an issue, I'd sure get one.

My iPod didn't manage 10 hours new, I know the iPhone has a bigger battery, but with cellular and gps, I doubt a 5 fold increase in life.
Mine routinely lasts 48 hours. I have turned off push and 3G (no 3G service where I live anyway)
