iPhone ergonomic screen configuration

Find this on our new site at http://www.ChristopherGrant.info

In webdesign we think about where the best spots are on the page for content. I’ve determined that in the iPhone a similar hot zone exits, and should be used for proper ergonomic use of your iPhone.

Being right handed I tend to hold the iPhone in the palm of my left hand so I can work with the other. This resting position on my left hand allows me to navigate the screens with the thumb.

The result is an area on the home screens where I put my most used apps. On each screen I’ve put these apps from the top left in an arch to the bottom middle. This configuration follows the natural curved path of my thumb as it glides over the screen.

I would suggest configuring your apps to meet your own ergonomic configuration. Repetitive Stress Injury in your thumb could be painful.
