If you own a Mac or an iPhone, chances are you'll need to download at least one of the security updates issued by Apple. Dozens of vulnerabilities and bugs were covered by a total of six downloads for Mac OS 10.3.9 (Panther), Mac OS 10.4.10 (Tiger) on PowerPC, and the Universal version of Mac OS 10.4.10, as well as the server versions of each of those operating systems. Each download contains several patches to correct flaws, and Apple is recommending that all users of those operating systems download the updates. In addition, Apple will make a Mac-related announcement coming Tuesday.

Never thought I'd see the day when my mobile phone would need a security patch.. Companies used to let their engineers conduct real engineering so the product was solid, rather than rush rush to catch the hype wave.
My Samsung A900 mobile phone has had at least 4 patches and it's not even a smartphone.
Apple's browser has had security fixes and that should be nothing new for anyone using a browser.
It's tough to do testing when you don't realise exactly what the general public will do with your product but Apple do have a typical release a few weeks after a product is updated, once issues have been reported.
