Apple’s Developer Restrictions
• App programmers for iPhone OS use Software Development Kits provided by Apple.
• These SDK’s provide developers with a number of Application Programming Interfaces, or API’s
• Adobe Flash is not an Apple-approved API

Apple’s Reasons for Restriction
• Adobe Flash is a closed platform
• HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript are open
• YouTube already has an iPod/iPhone/iPad interface
• Most Flash videos are available in other, more modern formats

Problems with Flash
• The number one reason Macs crash
• Needs to work with every platform
• This would limit innovations in mobile device technology
• Not designed for touch control
• Runs slowly on mobile devices

Consumer Impact
• iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad can not display Flash content
• This includes most pages which are heavy in visual and interactive content
• Most flash based sites are being re-coded to work with modern interfaces
• Some consumers were mislead by the advertised full web browsing features included with Apple portable devices
