You’re insane if you think there weren’t behind-the-scenes meetings for many many months where Jobs tried to strong arm Adobe into investing their own resources into making Flash that could work on iPhone. Or, to make something that would produce Flash-like content but not kill the iPhone experience and battery life.
You think Apple just walked out with the iphone one day and was like “ok here’s our new product, hope y’all hate Flash with us now, our company depends on it!”
Have you even worked for a company before.
- Apple in the end bet that people would prefer the iPhone to Flash and they were right. Nobody cares about Flash except the people who worked in itnb
- Maybe all that happened. Doesn't change things. Jobs is still a 'genius' ok? Of a sortdkoblesky
- Jobs is 100% the exec who is like “why are we spending Apple money to help make Adobe successful? Fuck Adobe. We work at Apple.”nb
- I work for one of the largest companies on the planet....ok?dkoblesky
- And that’s completely what he’s supposed to do as the leader of his company.nb
- this is why I called him a 'marketing genius'
Adobe is who failed heredkoblesky - Amazing how personal people get about global conglomeratedkoblesky
- Um, yeah I agree with you. The letter and all that was a way to control the conversation when Apple started to lose control of the narrative.nb
- What nb said is correct. iPhones (mobile devices in general) beats Flash. But this forum cares because many of use worked with Flash for 10 yearsdkoblesky
- Then why did flash not flourish on android which had the majority market share globally for many years before and after iOS???monospaced
- Simply put, if flash was gonna live on mobile it failed to do so on the platform it was allowed on. And adobe shit the bed. They failed.monospaced
- iPhone had a slim market share for years. It was a joke at first. Why blame the underdog for a shitty flash not working on it? Pshhhhmonospaced
