The single designer personally responsible for the iphone and ipad is Jonathan Ive. Jonathan Ive is the Senior Vice President of Industrial Design at Apple Inc. In addition to the iphone and ipad, He is the principal designer of the iMac, aluminum and titanium PowerBook G4, MacBook, unibody MacBook Pro and iPod.
The reality, though, is that no single person can take credit for such a technically intricate series of products. The Iphone, Ipad, and Ipod were designed by a team of dozens of designers, engineers, and programmers. Like Apple trade secrets, the names of these people individually are closely guarded. One can only speculate that they are compensated very well for their anonymity, and thus it’s in their best interest to protect that. A Time Magazine article about the development of the iPhone reveals that the iPhone project was born from experiments at Apple regarding a handheld computer with a touch screen as a potential competitor to tablet PCs.
This article specifically mentions Steve Jobs, Apple CEO, Jonathan Ive, as well as Scott Forstall, Apple's vice president of Platform Experience.
Scott Forstall provides an interesting quote regarding the level of detail addressed by the team:
“Apple also places an unusual emphasis on interface design. It sweats the cosmetic details that don't seem very important until you really sweat them. "I actually have a photographer's loupe that I use to make sure every pixel is right," says Scott Forstall, Apple's vice president of Platform Experience. "We will argue over literally a single pixel."
