They do somewhat do that. 2.93GB is for the delta update from 11.5.1. The full version, which doesn’t try to include only the parts that are needed, is 11.6GB

2.93GB is for the delta update from 11.5.1.
The full version, which doesn’t try to include only the parts that are needed, is 11.6GB.
My understanding, however, is that it’s done on a per-file basis, and any update to a system library invalidates the dyld shared cache… which is a 2gB file all by itself.

- nly 5y agoIsn't that cache generated locally though, making it irrelevant to update size?
