Start with the five-company bench contrast before outreach
Apple 367, Meta 83, Uber 41, Lyft 26, Airbnb 24: five records add to 541. Software Engineer and Android Engineer stay outside this page's scope.
List scope: spelled-out iOS Engineer plus Senior
The seat is spelled-out iOS Engineer only; Senior joins the same family. Five exclusive homepage records total 541 as of 2026-09-22 PT.
Denominator: sum of current iOS Engineer profiles across five exclusive company homepage records, as of 2026-09-22 PT.
Apple posts the largest figure 367
Apple sets the top of the range. Its own exclusive company homepage record, www.apple.com, carries 367 current iOS Engineer profiles as of 2026-09-22 PT. Nobody else in the pack comes close, and because the record is exclusive to Apple, that 367 is not inflated by acquired or parent brands.
Denominator: current profiles on the Apple exclusive homepage record (www.apple.com) matching iOS Engineer / Senior iOS Engineer, as of 2026-09-22 PT.
Meta posts the contrast figure 83
Meta follows on its own exclusive company homepage record, www.meta.com, with 83 current iOS Engineer profiles as of 2026-09-22 PT. Against Apple, this rung is narrower under the same seat definition; the difference is bench depth rather than a different scope.

Uber and Lyft post the mid figures 41 and 26
Uber holds the mid band with 41 current profiles on www.uber.com, and Lyft follows with 26 on www.lyft.com, both as of 2026-09-22 PT. The mid band is often the most under-read rung.

Airbnb posts the close figure 24
Airbnb closes the tail with 24 current iOS Engineer profiles on its own exclusive company homepage record, www.airbnb.com, as of 2026-09-22 PT. A tail bench is not a dismissal: for hiring moves that need a precise seat picture, 24 is still a reachable, comparable pool.

Five homepage records add 541
The pack total is 541 current iOS Engineer profiles, the sum of the five exclusive company homepage records: 367 + 83 + 41 + 26 + 24 = 541, as of 2026-09-22 PT. Because the five records do not overlap on the seat being counted, the total is a clean addition.

Software Engineer and Android Engineer do not enter this list
Software Engineer and Android Engineer titles remain outside the 541. They may sit beside iOS Engineer on the same org chart, but the pack counts only the one spelled-out seat, so the total stays traceable to five exclusive company homepage records as of 2026-09-22 PT.

Methodology
Counting rule for this chapter. Every figure is a count of current profiles on one named company's own exclusive homepage record — Apple, Meta, Uber, Lyft, Airbnb — never a rolled-up parent entity. The seat is kept deliberately narrow: spelled-out iOS Engineer, with Senior counted in the same family. All numbers share a single as-of date, 2026-09-22 PT. Source: Metix AI.

FAQ
- Why these five companies and not other iOS Engineer employers?
- Because each of the five — Apple, Meta, Uber, Lyft, Airbnb — has its own exclusive company homepage record, so its bench can be counted directly. Together they hold 541 current iOS Engineer profiles across the five exclusive company homepage records as of 2026-09-22 PT.
- Does the total of 541 include Software Engineer or Android Engineer titles?
- No. The 541 is the sum of current iOS Engineer profiles on the five exclusive company homepage records (367 + 83 + 41 + 26 + 24) as of 2026-09-22 PT; Software Engineer and Android Engineer titles are counted outside this seat.
- Why does Apple sit at 367 while Airbnb sits at 24?
- The counting rule is identical for both: current iOS Engineer profiles on each company's own exclusive homepage record as of 2026-09-22 PT. Apple's record holds 367 and Airbnb's holds 24, so the gap reflects bench depth rather than a different scope.
- Can this same iOS Engineer seat cut be remade for a company outside the published 541-person pack?
- Yes. The published iOS engineering peer pack stays fixed at 541 across the five exclusive homepage records as of 2026-09-22 PT, and the same spelled-out iOS Engineer seat can be applied to another company record on request.
