You're entering a world of pain if you're going to make every menu out of text and images. I would strongly recommend using the GUI Editor instead if that's possible for iPhone servers, and just make a sexy skin for the window frames. Since the iPhone essentially just uses one resolution, you could even make fullscreen menus which are transparent so players can still see what's going on and close it in a hurry if they need to.

As for the HUD itself, if that's how it is now... It's a bit cluttered. I would suggest removing as much as you can from the screen as possible so players can even see what's going on around them. To do so, you could scale down the icons, remove hotkey slots, (Seriously, ten? Texting on an iPhone is bad enough.) or take out any of the pointless space-eating frame decorations. Any of those solutions would work better.
