The author of this article is sorely mistaken.  The ability to make (and receive) phone calls on your Mac using your iPhone (yes real phone calls, not FaceTime calls) has been around for more than a decade!!  It launched back in 2014 with OS X Yosemite and iOS 8.  That feature has been around so long that they didn't even call it macOS back then.

It has been possible to initiate a phone call via the Mac since a while now. There are 2 ways of doing it : 
1. Go to the contacts app > open the contact you want to call > click on the phone icon to initiate the call. 

2. Go to FaceTime > search the contact you want to make the call to or type the number in the search bar > hit call. If the number is not linked to FaceTime, the call will be initiated as a regular phone call and not a FaceTime call. 
 

What you're both referring to is called Wifi calling, and it's a feature provided by cell phone providers in which your Mac can make a call over the internet as though it's a phone. This new calling feature is an Apple-added continuity feature that relays calls between the Mac and iPhone. It's using the cellular modem of the phone to make the call.

Where can you buy a new Mac Mini for $199? https://support.apple.com/mac/repair/service

My guess is that the iPad Pro doesn’t have it because it’s an interim product, not changed much from the previous generation. The iPhone SE doesn’t have it because it’s a lower cost device. I bet the next iPad Pro (with next gen CPU) and the next flagship series iPhones will both have it.
