If a dual core, 4G enabled phone is a "feature" phone, was the first iPhone a landline?

Put another way, what good is the 4G & processing power if all you're expected to do with is call and text, which is almost all of what a feature phone used to let people do

VoLTE (voice over LTE) is higher quality, and has greater capacity than the old GSM and UTMS which means more people can use the spectrum.

VoWiFi (voice over WiFi) allows customer on-premises devices to extend the network, allowing businesses and home users some control over where people want to be reachable.
