Many websites are offering downloads for iPhone but finding one that provides quality at an affordable rate and yet legal at the same time is hardly a walk in the park. This article will help you identify a legitimate and good download portal when you see one.

While doing a search on popular search engines such as Google or Yahoo, you will come across dozens of websites claiming to provide “Free” downloads for iPhone. Well, it’s not a problem when they claim to provide free wallpapers, theme, free software and other stuff but the problem comes when free movies and music are promised. Remember, other than public domain materials, movies and music are all intellectual property with their corresponding copyrights. These free sites are either providing the downloads illegally in which case will render users liable for prosecution in they download from these sites, or they are scams. Some are actually run by hackers that put up files infected with spywares and viruses for download in order to steal information like online banking passwords and credit card numbers from users’ PC. There is no such thing as free lunch, really.

There are paid sites that charge for every file downloaded. These sites typically charge anywhere between $0.99 to a few dollar per song and more for video clips. While it can be quite expensive in the long run using these services, they provide the safest avenue for iPhone users

Another category of download portal is those that charge a one-time membership fee for access to iPhone resources. They are more affordable than regular pay-per-download sites and offer a decent amount of resources such as movies, music, software and games for iPhone. Do read reviews on them though and make sure they respect intellectual property. In essence, these can be a good and safe source of downloads for iPhone.
