Demand is hot for experienced mobile developers who can make interesting and fun apps on the iPhone and Android mobile phones. So if you are a developer and wondering which programming language commands the most salary, who earns more – an iPhone or Android Developer?
Using job board Indeed.com, I performed a salary search on March 20th, 2011 for ‘Android Developer’, ‘iPhone Developer’ and ‘Blackberry Developer’. The average salary for Android and iPhone Developers is almost the same. Android tops out at $95,000 while the average salary for an iPhone Developer is $93,000.
