The user agent is defined by the browser.

And it only contains: Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7 irrespective of what Mac you are using.

I’m seeing Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 14_7). What do you think the 14_7 stands for on MacOS 14.7?

I currently use M3 Max MacBook Pro. Mac OS 14.6.1（23G93).

Firefox 130.0.1

  "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:130.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/130.0"
Safari 17.6

  "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/17.6 Safari/605.1.15"
Seems like a Google Chrome-specific behavior, but I don't have Google Chrome installed to test.

This is on an M4 MacBook Pro running 15.0.

So not correct.

Heya, I couldn’t find a way to contact you privately but I’d assume you want to delete your comment until (presumably) next month! Correct me if I’m wrong tho :)

Alternatively, a mod could help to edit it instead

Why would they want to do that?

To be honest, I’m not entirely sure.

It’s a product that isn’t officially announced yet. Anyone could mention that they own that device of course, but it’s the extra credibility of him being an ex-Apple SWE (judging from his comments) that convinced me to drop that comment.

Dunno if there could be any legal implications, if not - all good!
