So, who is the average iPhone user? What percentage of iPhone users could the CIA docs exploit be applied to?

I think almost none is the answer seeing as this vulnerability only affects iPhone 3G users.

I know of three people who use iPhone 3G as their alternate phone when the other battery dies and/or international phone when traveling.

The phones don't just go away, they're get passed down.
