chaudhri was a member of the original six-person iphone design team. he previously led the design for dashboard on the mac, which was full of widgets that would be ideal for the phone. his early idea for the phone was "all about having these widgets in your pocket." the iphone's rectilinear app icon design also came from chaudhri. after much experimentation, chaudhri came up with the grid of apps as a way to organize the iphone's functions, which came to be called springboard. he had the industrial design team make a few wooden iphone mockups to figure out the optimal size of the icons for a finger's touch. he is credited as the sole inventor of the jiggling effect during user interface reconfiguration mode. chaudhri and ording originally built the iphone's user interface using adobe photoshop and director. chaudhri likened it to "building a frank gehry piece out of aluminum foil," calling it "the biggest hack of all time." prior to working on a finger-controlled touchscreen for the iphone, they initially built a crude mock-up to show that a finger-controlled tablet would work, as well as an "ipod-plus-phone that could create text messages with a predictive text system." chaudhri was among those named on apple's patent as an inventor. chaudhri and designer freddy anzures had been working on the unlock concept for iphone to prevent accidental activations. while on an airplane and observing how the bathroom stall had a slide to lock/unlock feature, anzures thought to apply that concept to the touchscreen. chaudhri tested a prototype with his baby daughter. when she was able to slide to unlock, he knew the feature would be universal. chaudhri is credited as one of the inventors on the patent granted to apple for the slide to unlock gesture. according to merchant, the touch-based phone, which was originally supposed to be nothing but screen, was going to need at least one button, and steve jobs was convinced that, in addition to the home button, the iphone would also need a back button for navigation. chaudhri convinced jobs otherwise, arguing that, in order to generate "trust and predictability" there must simply be "one button that does the same thing every time you press it: it shows you your stuff."
