That problem relates to landing an airplane with a 5G tower near the airport. Nothing to do with passenger phones.
And honestly it's a faulty radio in the airplane. They shouldn't be disrupted by 5G towers at all... but Boeing doesn't want to pay for replacement parts and neither do the airlines.
I didn't make any claims to the effect. In fact, I wanted to make it clear that even these worries over 5G towers aren't really relevant or a reason to keep such a claim alive. There is no need to take my word for it. The FAA has already covered it.
