How Apple Killed Flash

___________________
Adobe Flash is a multimedia technology that powered some of the most iconic websites in the internet’s early days like Newgrounds and Homestarrunner. It allowed content to be viewable whether you were on Mac, PC, or Linux, and it became so popular that almost every website had some form of Flash technology. But today, the internet looks a lot different. Flash has gone extinct, and Apple had a lot to do with its demise. So in this video, I’m going to explain the history of Flash, and how Apple accelerated its fall.

Incredibly smooth transition to the sponsor spot. That being said, maybe too smooth of a transition. It made it sound like Squarespace was the reason why Adobe was scared.

Moral of the story : Never miss a phone call.

I would love to watch ur video in 2027 with the title "How Apple Killed Facebook"

Your transition to the sponsor was smoother than the iPadPro 120hz display.

9:18 This statement by Steve Jobs shows that Apple didn't kill flash
Flash killed themselves

I remember the days when i couldn't play audio and video files because I had to install Adobe Flash

Flash was part of my internet childhood back in the early 2000s for me (I'm 27 years old btw).

[GiorgosTube]

Oh man, all those sites I know from my childhood are gone forever, It hurts

[MadhuKraft]

[Sabrintwittr]

I mean, it can be all summarized in one word:
-Courage.

As someone who has enjoyed both Android and iOS, I can say Android often has features first, but iOS gets it right or not at all. Flash was a selling point for Android, but it was never a good experience on phones and tablets. It was a novelty at best.

I didn't know a fruit was capable of killing light. I might've underestimated your knowledge over apples, Sir Issac Newton😔

[LoganMeyers]

I swear, the transitions to the sponsor, are starting to surpass Linus'...

Former Flash Product Manager here. You actually did a remarkably good job on this. There’s very little that I would argue. I would have included that HTML5 became what it is largely _because_ of Flash. Also, the way we enjoy video on the internet today is largely due to Flash. I also think your characterization of Adobe’s “attack” on Apple was exaggerated. They were actually less aggressive than many of us wanted them to be. In any case, well done!

HOW STEVE JOB KILLED FLASH

- that’s the correct title

[SomeWolf]

I remember my iPad saying that I needed flash to access but I was surprised they killed it.

In noticed here that most of the comments don't care if their sensitive data, bank accounts, and credit/debit card information got hacked or stolen because of Adobe flash security holes.

[gregorybentley]

Adobe signed flash’s death warrant when they snubbed jobs on developing their software (photoshop, etc) for the Mac. That man could hold a grudge.

Please bring back the old music... that was one of the things that made your channel special
