macOS updates for Apple Silicon Macs are larger than reported

https://eclecticlight.co/2023/08/19/macos-updates-for-apple-silicon-macs-are-larger-than-reported/

Summary: macOS updates for Apple silicon Macs are larger than reported, with a minimal update for Intel Macs around 500 MB and Apple silicon Macs at 1.8 GB. The discrepancy is due to a two-phase update process for M-series Macs, with the first download similar in size to Intel Macs and a second component exclusive to Apple silicon Macs, adding about 1.1 GB to the total size. Users should add the fixed 1.1 GB overhead to the download size given by softwareupdate or in SilentKnight to get the accurate size.
