Less than 35MB for Safari and Security Update. I wish they would do that for iOS, too.
Yes! What is it with those ios updates that require a full system download and re-install? With backups the whole process takes an eon.

I would *love* if they did that for Xcode. 4.0.1 was 4.5 GB, same size as original. Don't know about 4.0.2 yet, likely the same size.

I wish they would do that for Xcode. The 4.0.1 upgrade was a full 4.3gb download. 4.0.2 hasn't shown up on the App Store yet, but I suspect it will be an equally hefty download...

Doh!

I?m going to ignore the Xcode update for that very reason.

Great minds... and all that. Or do you guys sit next to each other?
The bad is 5GB of data to download.
I don't mind the iOS update as that is viable and avoids issues that have plaques other OSes over the years. But 4.5 GB fir every XCode update is crap.

They were both posted by me on two different machines simultaneously
Is it an indication of how secure Mac OS is that the security update is only 4MB!

Maybe it only gets tiny bugs

Cool. Its Ambidextrousman! Do it again!

I'm so tired of people bitching about "the size" of iOS updates.
They do it that way cause:
- it's easier
- it's less likely to go wrong
- it gives everyone the exact same OS
- it doesn't take that much longer
Seriously, it only takes ten minutes tops.
Most of that time is taken up by the same sort of processes that would have to run even if it was a smaller make-package. So it's like ten minutes versus 7 or 8 minutes, and the upside is huge both for Apple and for the users in general. Changing the process by making it more complicated and more error prone, just so a few antsy types won't get upset (and lets face it they will get upset anyway), would be foolish.

Not everybody has a super fast internet connection. It takes me six hours to download the iOS update and three days to download the Xcode update. As "green" as Apple likes to be, you would think they would try to minimize download sizes to save on the carbon footprint their network traffic generates. It isn't very hard to offer incremental updates.
I?m going to ignore the Xcode update for that very reason.
It's getting ridiculous. A small point update keeps on requiring a 4GB download. Bandwidth doesn't grow on trees.

iOS updates I can handle, I understand that. Xcode updates, now that's harder to swallow.
