Explanation
The sentence contains the trigger word Though, indicating a shift in the meaning of the sentence. In the first part, the futurist conceded that the iPhone was revolutionary, thus the second part must mean that it was old-fashioned. Check the answers. Only antediluvian and superannuated mean old-fashioned. Choices (D) and (E) are the best answers.
Hence D and E is correct!
