#2I think it'd be cool to see more visualizations of that data. What percentage was around the median and mean? What percentage of people charged under $50/hr?

Indeed, very little substance here. They couldn't even be bothered to indicate the time interval their "rate" applies to. One assumes hours, but it's not stated anywhere on the page. $93/hour? Day? Week? Project?

#5How did you get the survey out? Was it via your email list or Twitter HN etc? Survey methods can dramatically change your results.

I will freely admit that I suck as stats and data viz. We'll track the feedback and add to the results page.

For other people, maybe. The market's starting to get flooded with mobile devs I believe - and making a hit on your own is just non calculable for potential profit.

#8These "feel" low to me. For context I'm a freelancer doing mostly front end web work based in MN and comfortably charging 50-60 with relatively little experience (~18 months, three of which were an internship with a creative firm). My intuition would have previously been that iOS devs; being both more supply constrained and needing more technical depth in skills (webdevs can get away with just knowing how to string up wordpress instances. I'm not aware of anything similar in the objective C world) would command much more leverage.
On the top end, I would hope these "rockstar" teams are charging 250/hr per developer?
I like to think I'm at the very bottom of the totem pole with plenty of room to climb higher and increase my revenue over a long career to come; seeing things like this make think I'm rapidly approaching a pretty hard cap.

Point taken, but if you look at the results page (linked in the post), it's a lot more clear: http://bigswing.com/ios-rates-2013

Ah, thanks! That's exactly what I was looking for.
The heavier font weight didn't register and I completely missed the links in the body of the text. Maybe they need to be set off more, or maybe I just need more coffee :)
