Adobe has confirmed that it will no longer be supporting the software after December 31 2020, and will actively block Flash content from running inside Flash Player from January 12 2021.
In the company’s own words it “strongly recommends all users immediately uninstall Flash Player to protect their systems.”
Anyone who is still running Flash Player can expect to start seeing notifications pop-up on their screen that the software’s death is just days away and that they should uninstall the software.
Flash’s demise shouldn’t be a shock, it’s been on the cards for years. And it’s not just Adobe which has been working hard to kill it off in a graceful fashion. The likes of Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Mozilla stopped Flash from playing in their browsers years ago, and have committed to excising any remaining Flash-related code entirely by the end of 2020.

Obviously when you make anything smaller, there are going to be trade-offs and I braced myself wondering which features Apple sacrificed to make a small phone in 2020. But the iPhone 12 Mini has everything the iPhone 12 has -- it's just smaller. It has the same flat-sided design, support for 5G and OLED screen with support for HDR. The screen is covered with Apple's ceramic shield. The body has an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance and supports MagSafe wireless charging and accessories. It has the same A14 Bionic processor, runs the same iOS 14 software and even has the same cameras. The iPhone 12 and 12 Mini are the same phone. But one is small and one isn't
