I hadn't realized any country was getting progressively slower internet speeds. Per TFA:

> Since Big Sur, updates have reduced in total size, and in Ventura were close to or below earlier versions

Apple is shipping smaller updates over time, not larger (any more).

It's a bold extrapolation from two updates though, I doubt it will continue, and I'll be downloading 1TB Xcode updates in ten years time.

Also, I just checked. Even this record "small" sized update is still an upward trend based on when my Internet connection was originally provisioned.
