The design and research of a smartphone usually occur in California, USA, by companies like Apple and Samsung, which have significant operations in California.

The design and research of a smartphone uses a lot of prototypes and very close attention to detail. This process of researching and designing a smartphone takes a lot of steps that usually start with market research.

Market Research: This process begins with acknowledging the customer's needs and finding out high quality features in the consumers experience. They continue to run market research to single out the user's preferences, trends in the smartphone market and what would attract the most buyers.

Precise Prototyping: The next step is precise prototyping, which companies like Apple are known for their all-out prototyping creating several replications of the design.

Impacts on Humanity & Area

The impacts of Research and Design on smartphones can be positive and negative, with positive impacts providing job opportunities for people and giving people a understanding of the creations of smart phones. Where for negative it requiries a lot of energy (energy consumption) and generation of e-waste

The assembly of smartphones mainly take place in China because of its factories structure, skilled work force and the cost effectiveness

The Assembly of Smartphones can have both positive and negative impacts. Some negative impacts are the workspace being terrible and the workers, working in horrible conditions and using toxic chemicals that can cause cancer and birth defects.

For positive impacts the assembly of smart phones/production of smart phones opens up job opportunities for others and gives them work experience.

Smartphones require a wide variety of resources and materials for their creation including metals like gold, copper, silver in addition to minerals like cobalt and lithium which collected from many countries like Chile, Australia, China and the democratic Republic of Congo.

Impacts on People & Enviroment:

Collecting resources for the creation of smartphones has a massive impact on the enviroment creating e waste, pollution and deforestation. For impacts on People it can also provide jobs like mining and extracting certain resources.
