That's because, apart from only Apple knowing what each dev/app has made, there's never been a really widespread survey.
I read somewhere that the average app makes about $20 in TOTAL. There's some huge hits, but there's also some mega-misses.

The worst paid app for me made about $32. The best made almost $3,400 (and counting).

The App Store is so bloated now, you might as well go with quality over a quick and dirty app.
In other words, you have a better chance making real money if you deliver something that you think Apple would want to feature.

LOL I'd say the average is a few bucks because a bunch of noobs think they can come in and release a shitty app and make a few hundred thousand. Nice try.

There was a study a year ago where the median was $700 and mean was 3k over the lifetime of the app.
