For years Apple and Adobe have been at odds over Adobe’s
Flash Player. You cannot natively view
flash animations on Mac iOS, which includes iPhones, iPods and iPads. What is at the root of this
disagreement? Apple says it’s a security
issues. The late Steve Jobs released a statement
in April of 2010 laying out these reasons and citing Adobe’s software as “buggy”,
“unstable” and “no longer necessary to watch video or consume any kind of web
content”.
These stiff words were met with lots of criticism, with many
of those critics accusing Apple of locking out Adobe to keep a grasp on their
share of the app market.
