Not so on MacOS.

• lapcat 4y ago
  It is so on macOS. In fact, macOS updates now ship in lockstep with iOS releases. This is because they all share code, and more importantly, security vulnerability fixes. You might be referring to how Safari is updated independently of macOS on the 2 non-latest versions of macOS. But those are still released simultaneously with the OS updates, and Safari on the latest version of macOS is bundled with the OS update.

    I think I might be referring to that? Mainly referring to the separate “Other Updates” section of downloads, but I didn’t know those are still tied to OS updates for Safari.

      See for example how there's a Safari 16.4 update for Big Sur and Monterey but not for Ventura. That's because the macOS Ventura 13.3 update includes the latest Safari, just like the iOS 16.4 update includes the latest Safari. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201222 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201222 The separate Safari updates are only for back support of older macOS versions.

        I've seen updates just for Safari, but those are irregular.
