- userbinator 5y agopoor mobile processors I don't think even the first generation of iPhone (400MHz ARM) was too slow to run the average Flash games of the time, given that SWF was originally designed to work well on mid-90s PCs (200-300MHz Pentium/Pentium II). and Steve Jobs' "Thoughts on Flash" That's more likely.
