OK; main point: what percentage of all facilities of the new iPhone do you use? I'd guess that the average tech savvy person will use < 20% of all things that the new iPhone offers - this includes apps down loads.
Actually, I use more than 20% of it's features and sometimes I just wished it had more. I am replying to you with my iPhone while watching the cute TGs pass by.  and when I get tired of texting TGs, I can text the Russian babes : “Я хочу тебя”.
The great user interface (UI) allows me navigate through thousands of photos that I have stored in here to show off to friends. And having a great UI means I don't have read user manuals. It's great for emails too, as I can have my beer in any bar, while replying to my boss in the US. Hush!
The only thing I don't do with my iPhone is to receive calls. I only call out.

Unfortunately, the forum software doesn't allow that. However, I have had various iPhone avatars in the past, like this one.

In August of 2008, Bloomberg (a very legit news service) reported on Steve Jobs' death, which I suggested equally to be dumb and yawn worthy.
You might think that "Why do you suggest that the death story is stupid? And calling it FUD? Death is incredibly serious, and not to be taken lightly. I don't get it."
Later on, repeated talks of his cancer's return were circulated, by equally legitimate news sources.
Once again, one might question my yawning responses by
You might think that "Why do you suggest that the cancer return story is stupid? And calling it FUD? Cancer is incredibly serious, and not to be taken lightly. I don't get it."
The point is that Steve Jobs' health is a pet project of many news organizations, particularly if something negative, 'serious', can be written - the style chosen in the WSJ's article, or presenting something as 'fact', and then underlining it with statements from tons of experts WHO HAVE NEVER EVEN SEEN JOBS, is very typical tabloid journalism, which it appears now the WSJ has joined.
Statements (like from QQ) of "SJ's liver transplant has devoted considerable interest all around the planet ; Un-Yawn." are not really noteworthy, nor do they support any potential 'truth' of such an article, seeing as how every news source reporting on it, now, is essentially reprinting the original WSJ article, without adding anything to it. This is no different than the SJ death incident, or any other 'report' that is single sourced, getting regurgitated by all news media all over the planet - this is, sadly, how the media works these days, as the 'investigative' part of journalism is well and thoroughly dead.
The WSJ, by entirely cloaking their sources (i.e. not even mentioning they had ANY sources), and tossing out questionables presented as fact, really has only joined a long line of publications that no longer have much of any credibility when it comes to sensationalist stories -- the little conflict of interest on their end certainly doesn't help.
Hence, why I find the incident of "Yet Another Steve Jobs Health Article" to be entirely yawn worthy. Not cancer (which is a serious issue), not liver transplants (which are serious as well) -- just sensationalism, which is yawn-worthy.
EDIT: Typo corrected.

It's true that I haven't used an iPhone & don't intend to use it either, as, I consider phones to be communication
devices, not gadgets for circumnavigating the planet
and / or, the Milky Way.
Under normal conditions, that statement would be worthy of skewering all by itself, but seeing as you have previously dated yourself to be a technological neanderthal, I'll let it slide. It's been my experience that seriously old people that boast to have worked in the technology field on 'computers' have failed to stay up to date a long time ago, and basically cruise along on their past days of glory (I mean, IBM AS/400s - get real!).
So, your honest inability to grasp that the iPhone is indeed a communication device is understandable in that context.

Remember, our (my) intention is a noble, altruistic & scholarly assessment of iPhone capabilities, not a depraved famine of sex.
Finally addressing your uninformed query -- the iPhone's home screen has 16 icons of Apple supplied apps. Out of those, I use 11.
The one icon that expands the iPhone's capabilities, of course, is the App Store icon, which allowed me to add an additional 32 applications to the already built-in ones.
So, you could argue that I am really using close to 300% of the iPhone's functionality.
Considering the success of the App Store (1 *billion* downloads, for close to 30 *million* devices), I would assume that something similar applies to most iPhone users.

Fully 49% of the Neanderthals ( like mysef) want the phone just to ring.
I'm actually surprised it was that few -- a fully 85% of people (and possibly more) are technological luddites -- which I guess is different than those that deliberately remain under a rock (i.e. luddites includes those that *want* new technologies, for various reasons, they are just unable to comprehend, or use it).
So, looking at your numbers -- 49% are challenged by technology, which makes about sense, taking the older segment of the population into account -- you know, the kind from a generation of single-taskers.
Considering the demographic of smartphone buyers comprises roughly 20% of the mobile phone using population, this number is not surprising -- it is also unique to the USA, as fear or inability to use technologies is quite unique in this market.
Still, you better stay under your rock -- considering your self-described 'technological' background with punch cards technology, your statement of not needing a phone to do more than ring is even more apropos (correction: you are one step above punch cards).
The sad thing is that this kind of "I don't need this new fangled stuff" attitude really arises from a very obvious fear of confronting something you are afraid you might not understand -- so, better to not even attempt it. This is quite common for people of your generation, so don't feel bad.
In fact, it would appear that you and EPC would be occupying the same evolutionary shelf, when it comes to that - kinda ironic you have so much in common with Chuck'd'Man...

Punch cards & the IBM AS/400 ??
I'm glad that you are trying to brag about regurgitating apparently the only technology you know about, but if you had bothered reading a teeny bit further, than having an immediate knee jerk reaction and spouting off 6 useless paragraphs, you would have seen:

(correction: you are one step above punch cards).
I am well aware that the AS/400 doesn't use punch cards, and that it wasn't put out to pasture until 2008 - albeit in the context of the technological timeline, and the current state of affairs, it might as well have...
All you are doing is seriously vindicating EPC's view of yourself (which, ironically, reduces you to one of his contemporaries).
...and none of which detracts from your deep rooted fear of that which you don't understand, and which you thus reject.
