What is the difference between Safari and iOS Safari on caniuse.com?

Tags:

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):
