Yes, but Isaac Newton would be able to see an F-35 and iPhone and would be able to understand how these things work once explained.

But, you are giving Newton an affordance that makes this an unfair comparison: "once explained".
How do you think he would do with rare visual glimpses and hearsay only?

You asked, analogously, if he would be able to recognize the F-35 as a vehicle. All it would take is watching one land and seeing the pilot climb out to make it absolutely clear to him.
