umm I should try fix things that never existed before a company even announces it
The Note 3 is not iPhone 5s primary competition. These are 2 very different animals and are geared towards different crowds. Your basically comparing a Honda Accord to a Chevy Suburban. I don't believe Samsung makes the Note devices to compete with their "S" devices or the iPhone directly. All Samsung is doing is offering choice; something Apple is afraid to do. It has flagship specs but it will never beat the Galaxy S4 or iPhone in sales because those phones appeal to more people.
The only phones that can compete with the Note 3 would be the 6.44" Sony Xperia X ultra, the 5.5" LG Optimus G, the 6.3" Samsung Mega and the upcoming 6" HTC One. The 4" iphone is not in the same league. The bottom line is that Android has too many weapons to choose from. I would find it embarrassing if Apple gets beat by one model because Android users have better selection compared to last year.
It would make sense for it to count as two phones sold, as two phones were produced...and sold. One would have a higher total cost (warranty, shipping, customer service, etc) to the company than the other though, and this would reflect in the accounting.
This is no different than going out and buying a refurbished Acer laptop or Canon camera for cheaper. The company makes less money than if it was sold brand new, but more than if it was thrown in the trash.
Come on..What do you really expect to get for what will be a four year old lowest tier phone?
So I guess the problem is not that you misread, but that you just don't know that there is a difference between "emerging markets" and "3rd world countries".
so you're one of those people...
Will Apple reduce price for iPhones that came with scratches and dents when new?
I'd like to know whether Apple will reduce the price it will pay me for my iPhone 5 with the nicks and scratches it came with new if I trade it in. Guess I know the answer to that one.

Excellent point. I am sure that is how it will be counted on the books. And when asked if this is the case on their earnings call, we will get the usual evasive answer.
I assume a 16. Usually the storage capacity doesn't matter with trade ins I've noticed.
although the note 3 isn't meant to directly compete with the iphone, but, it's release will affect the note3's sales just like the iphone will affect the note 3's sales.

1) i was talking about the full price (because i buy the unlocked version)
2) note series is one of the most successful line in the android world (and i compared it to the iphone because a new note is coming on 4th Sep)
If the price is fair, I can avoid the 2-year ritual of selling my phone(s) to nervous teens in the Ukraine. Yeah!
How much do you guys think Apple will offer for a 32gig 4S iPhone in excellent condition?
On eBay some are selling for more than $300.
That sounds like a good price but my experience with Apple is that they might not offer more than $100 for it.

What happened to the good ol' days when Apple released a new iPhone to mile-long lines of buyers, and stores with barely enough phones on hand to the meet demand?
Now, apparently, they need to dangle the "trade-in carrot" to entice you to buy the "upgraded" model?
This trade-in offer speaks volumes.
