Sometimes i check browser support features on Can I Use website. Now i looked at touch events compatibility and realised that iOS Safari support this feature, but Safari doesn't. What is the difference between Safari and iOS Safari on caniuse.com? As far as i know Safari browser is tied to the iOS and is not supported on Windows/Linux, so it should point to same browser. Maybe it's divided to mobile and desktop versions? I couldn't find any answer on their website and on other sites as well.

I enclose an image as well (support may change in the future):

Safari refers to desktop Safari on a Mac, whereas iOS Safari is Safari on an iOS device.

Im looking for answer why Safari is not identical on iOS and Mac OS? I have latest iOS and latest Mac OS and some CSS thinkg shows differently. Mac OS user agent Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_6) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/14.0.3 Safari/605.1.15 and iOS user agent Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 14_4 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/14.0.3 Mobile/15E148 Safari/604.1. The same version 14.0.3 but it is not identical browser bacuse I see on my website differences. E.g. on Safari Mac OS does not work "overflow: overlay".Bamby
