Blaming Apple is provably not true. Adobe claimed that they could get Flash working on the first Apple iPhone in 2007. When Adobe finally bought Flash to Android, it required 1GB of RAM and a 1Ghz CPU. Even then it ran badly and drained the battery.

The first iPhone had 128MB RAM and 400Mhz CPU. The first iPhone that met those specs came out in 2011.

One of the biggest knocks against the iPad in 2010 was that you couldn’t view the “real Internet” without Flash. Adobe promised Flash on the Motorola Xoom that came out a year later. Adobe was late leaving the Xoom in the unenviable position that you couldn’t view its Flash based home page on the device.
