Can I run a webpage-embedded Java Applet on the iPhone's web browser?

Can I run a Java applet that's been embedded in an or HTML tag on an iPhone? I don't mean as an App but actually through its browser.

Solution

  • No, as Steve Jobs stated when interviewed about that question in 2007 he answered

    Java's not worth building in. Nobody uses Java anymore. It's this big heavyweight ball and chain.

    That's not the truth, but at least you can be sure you can't embed an applet into the browser..
