Draw a small circle (holding down shift) at the bottom of your large rectangle and use the Adobe Illustrator alignment panel (Window>Align) to centre both the large rounded rectangle and the circle together.

Open the Adobe Illustrator Gradient panel (Window>Gradient) and set the stroke of the circle to the black to white gradient and 2mm, set the gradient angle to -90.

Choose the rectangle tool from the Adobe Illustrator toolbar, click and drag to draw a large rectangle for your screen. Use the illustrator alignment panel to centre it with the rest of the shapes. Coose nothing for the sroke colour and within the Illustrator swatches panel choose the gradient that fades from blue to transparent.
