Salary · India LPA
iOS Developer salary in India
iOS Developer pay runs slightly above Android at product companies due to smaller supply. Consumer apps with SwiftUI depth beat agency maintenance roles.
LPA bands by experience
Ranges reflect mixed services + product hiring — not top-decile outliers or internship stipends.
| Experience | Typical fixed CTC band |
|---|---|
| 0–2 years | 5–10 LPA |
| 3–5 years | 10–20 LPA |
| 5–8 years | 15–30 LPA |
City and remote notes
- Bengaluru (BLR): product/GCC often +10–20% vs national mid
- Hyderabad (HYD): GCC mix; can approach BLR for same MNC
- NCR (Delhi NCR): wide spread — product upper band reachable
- Pune: product slightly below BLR peak
- Remote (India): India-remote product can match tier-1 with proof
Negotiation tip
App Store links and crash-free metrics justify band bumps — iOS talent pool is thinner than Android in India, but only with shipped apps.
