What is the name of Apple's web browser?

Apple’s web browser is Safari. Apple develops Safari for devices including the Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Vision Pro.

Apple introduced Safari on January 7, 2003, at Macworld in San Francisco. Steve Jobs presented it as a fast browser for Mac OS X, and the first beta was released that day. Safari 1.0 followed on June 23, 2003, and it became the default browser in Mac OS X Panther later that year.

Safari is built on WebKit, Apple’s browser engine derived from the open-source KHTML project. WebKit handles page rendering, while JavaScriptCore runs JavaScript. Those technologies also influenced browsers and operating systems beyond Apple’s own products.

A common mix-up is treating WebKit as the browser’s name. WebKit is the underlying engine; Safari is the user-facing browser application. Another historical wrinkle is that Apple released Safari for Windows from 2007 to 2012, but current Safari support is focused on Apple platforms.
