Posted by Sanuj Bhatia on Dec 17, 2020 in Apple News, News Up until now, Apple offered Mac users to update macOS via standalone update packages. Now, as per the report by Eclectic Light Company, Apple has stopped providing standalone delta and combo update packages, starting with macOS Big Sur. While most of us update our Macs via the ‘Software Update’ option in System Preferences, Apple, along with the software updates, provided a standalone combo and delta package files (.dmg files) that could be used to install the updates manually. These packages are generally smaller in size than the full update and come in handy if the user runs into a problem while installing it from the System Preferences.
