I thought it’s widely accepted that it’s a good thing the original iPhone didn’t use Flash? Because this decision helped the web move away from
Flash which many felt was a deeply flawed in terms of security and battery utilization.
Are there people around today who criticize Apple’s non-adoption of Flash? I would be interested to hear their perspectives.
In any case back in 2010 I deliberately purchased an Android phone that had Flash installed on it so I could have Flash on my phone. But I remember even just a handful of years later almost no Android phones offered Flash anymore…
- imglorp 2y agoWhile I think Flash deserved to be put in its place and NOT have the Internet built on it, should that really have been up to one platform vendor? My post was really about the early mindset from Apple in removing so many of a user's options. Everyone on the platform now has a Stockholm Syndrome vibe, justifying why they are not entitled to choices, or control of their device.
