The reason why iPhone does not support Flash: a wise move by Steve Jobs

The iPhone has many special settings, and not supporting Flash is one of them. Adobe believes that Apple's move is "anti-competitive," while Apple's Steve Jobs explained in 2010 that "Flash will bring performance and security nightmares."

Of course, today, we have to sigh that Apple's "cutting off its own arm" was indeed wise, especially when Flash was popular at the time. However, recently, a former Apple software development director named Bob Burrough revealed another side of this story: the reason why Jobs strongly rejected Flash had little to do with security, but more because Adobe could not provide convincing evidence to its partner Apple to solve these engineering vulnerabilities that would cause security problems . It must be said that Jobs was indeed a visionary creative genius and business leader.
