Career
Chaudhri was part of the design team that made the original iPhone interface. He co-created the iPhone home screen, complete with its rearrangement functionality. Chaudhri was fired by Apple in 2017, a month before he was expected to leave, after sending a departure email. He formed his own technology company, Humane with his wife Bethany, who he met while they both were working on the iPad. In 2025, HP acquired most of the Humane company, along with Chaudhri, who will lead a new team to integrate AI features into HP products.
