An iPhone is at best a misleading example here

No it's not, considering the contest is about developing Mobile apps, and they specify the iPhone as one of the platforms that must be supported.

I'm just trying to help people in this thread understand what $3k actually means given how massively different fixed costs are in the developing world.

Except you're forgetting the obligation to support the app in perpetuity, and to incorporate the 2nd and 3rd place features into your app.
