I think that, in the long run, making generalizations like this hurt us. It's probably a high %, but not "virtually 100%". You run the risk of siloing discussion around just a single topic (e.g., posting pictures on social media) when in reality modern smartphone use is just as vibrant as PC use is.
People do share photos on instagram. They also use iMessage/SMS/et al. to communicate via text, Tumblr/Twitter/Facebook to consume content, and a mobile browser to find driving test locations. Mobile gaming is a thing too.
You make good points -- especially about photography and interest -- but it's not like every "teenager" falls into the same category. Their device use is just as varied as the personalities of the people using them.
