You're forgetting half of the equation here. Market prices are determined not just by demand, but by tension between demand and supply. If, say, there are 1000 job offers for skill A but only 500 people with this skill looking for work, the price will go up. On the other hand, if there are 5000 jobs for skill B but 6000 people looking for work, there's no reason for prices to go up. So skil B may end up being less rewarded than skill A even though there is more demand for it.
In other words, it's possible that there is more demand for Apple developers but also more supply, because more developers think they can make a lot of money if they learn to make iOS apps.
