Last time I was job hunting, one of the Berlin startups was offering €58k (iOS developer). Is that competitive? I find it hard to judge.

Depends your level, but if you have some experience, no it's not something I would consider competitive (talking about Berlin).
Last time is when? In 2019 the median seems to be 65k-70k, and 70k-75k is possible.
75k at a seed stage companies. Day rates are €1200 and total comp for real senior developers at established companies is €100k+

“Nobody in Berlin earns over €65k” should be a dead meme by now. Salaries are continuing to rise

Not hard at all, there is plenty of information about wages in IT. If you understand the root of the article, the US versus Europe comparison, take Silicon Valley numbers and compare to €58k and you will find it ridiculously low. Damn, you get more in Romania (Bucharest or Cluj), I am not kidding you.
