Now that mantle is taken up by Safari, especially on mobile.
- cubefox 4y agoOh really, does Apple repeat that mistake? I assumed Safari would get updates like a normal app.
- Hamuko 4y agoThey're a bit more separated on macOS but still not really separate. On iOS, it's very much tied to the iOS/iPad OS version. There's perfectly functional iPads out there that are stuck on an iOS version and are thus e-waste as more and more Internet becomes inaccessible to them.
- cubefox 4y agoOkay, Microsoft made a mistake with their IE policy, maybe put of ignorance, but Apple repeating that mistake with Safari has no excuse.
