> Apple's latest devices apparently come equipped with a dedicated recovery partition

Didn't they always have this, minus the wireless functionality, isn't that the entire point of DFU/Recovery Mode?

Well, pedantically DFU allows injecting someone else's recovery partition, usually from a computer over USB but probably from Apple's CDN if they have the equivalent of macOS's "Internet Recovery." What I'm guessing this change provides is that the iPhone itself carries a recovery partition, and based on the language allows pseudo-AirDrop-ing it to someone else
