macOS Ventura 13.5 Update (22G74)

macOS Ventura 13.5 (22G74) Update is now Available!

UPDATED: 7/30/23

This article will be continually updated as new information comes in.

Apple just released macOS Ventura 13.5 to the public! Let’s jump in and find out what’s new in this update.

NOTE: All the security fixes in the 13.4.1 (c) RSR are included in the Ventura 13.5 Update.

Safari 16.6 is included in the Ventura 13.5 update and is available as a standalone update for macOS Monterey and Big Sur.

NOTE: Via Howard Oakley

“When Apple released the macOS Ventura 13.5 update, it was opaque about what it had changed, writing: “This update provides important bug fixes and security updates and is recommended for all users.” Apart from Ventura’s security-only updates, this is the tersest and least informative of all its release notes for macOS 13. If the bug fixes were that important, why should we not have been told what had been fixed?

What hardly anyone noticed at that time was that among those unspecified bug fixes Apple had removed one of its most important privacy features: its Privacy & Security settings had lost all control over bundled and user-installed apps in Location Services”
