Forget the traditional Tuesday updates, because Apple has dropped a small update bomb on Mac and iOS users this Thursday. iOS 4.3.2 is officially out, as well as iOS 4.2.7 for the Verizon iPhone. There's also an update that brings Safari on the Mac to version 5.0.5, Xcode 4.0.2 for developers.

iOS 4.3.2 is available for the GSM iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, third- and fourth-generation iPod touches, original iPad, and iPad 2 (but apparently not for the iPhone 3G). The update fixes a screen-freezing issue that was occurring for some users when they tried to hold FaceTime chats—one that we've experienced here at the Ars Orbiting HQ—as well as a bug that prevented some iPads from connecting to international 3G networks. It also comes with a plethora of security fixes, most of which were delivered as part of previous software updates to iOS devices. There's still no word on whether the update brings battery life fixes to the iPhone, as some users are still complaining of reduced battery life after updating to iOS 4.3.

Although the Verizon iPhone 4 still gets left out of the "main" iOS tweaks from Apple, it still got its own update in the form of iOS 4.2.7 today. The bug fixes and security patches are the same as those that come in iOS 4.3.2, but it only applies to the CDMA iPhone. If you don't own a CDMA iPhone, then it shouldn't show up for you in iTunes.

Mac and Windows users got some update love on Thursday as well, namely in the form of Safari 5.0.5. The latest version doesn't appear to have any new features, but it does add a couple of security fixes to the browser on all platforms. According to Apple's support document on Safari, the company patched two holes in WebKit that allowed unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution.

Finally, Xcode 4.0.2 is now available to developers via Software Update, which is largely meant to accompany the new iOS versions released today. The updated version should also be available on the Mac App Store soon, but as of this writing, the store is only showing version 4.0.1.

UPDATE: Apple also released Security Update 2011-002 for Snow Leopard, Leopard, and Leopard Server, which address the fraudulent SSL certificates issued by Comodo affiliate registration authority.
