You should really read the article

Literally the sentence after that points out the production output is 10 million per year, which is 1 phone every ~3 seconds

They are indeed claiming to put together a unit, start to finish, in 6 seconds. Implying they only have 2-3 parallel production lines

    Claiming is one thing, showing video footage is another.

    If true, very impressive.

    I have seen videos of pick'n'place machines. But I can't imagine the solder baking, screwing and final assembly and preparing for the packaging taking only 6 seconds.
