iPhone Download Sites – How To Select The Right iPhone Download Sites

No two iPhone download sites are the same. In fact, there is such a wide selection of sites for iPhone downloads that you can be both really spoilt for choice and confused at the same time. But fret not, here are several handy tips to help you select a suitable site where you can download music, songs, movies, videos, software and games for your iPhone. How’s that?

1. Cost of Downloads

How are the charges like? Do they charge you per download or pay per month or even pay per membership?

Some will charge you $0.99 for each music or song download and $9.99 for an entire album. As for the movies, it probably will be $1.99 per episode or movie, or even more.

However, you will be pleased to know that there is also paid membership sites that offer unlimited downloads for a one-time fee. For less than $49.99, you can download as many songs, music, TV shows, videos, movies, games and whatever you want. No download limits, bandwidth limits, or time limit at all.

2. Variety Of iPhone Downloads

There are general iPhone download sites as well as niche ones. General music services offer all download types like songs, music, games, software, videos, music videos, ringtones, audio books, etc.

Niche or specialist sites may just offer iPhone games or iPhone music only. Whether it is “I kissed a girl” by Katy Perry or “Burnin’ Up” By Jonah Brothers, you can surely find what you need.

3. Size of Media Library

The size of media library is an important factor. You want to use a membership site that offers millions of media files. The rule of the thumb is to select one with over 100 million media files. There are such iPhone download sites, so start looking around.

4. Easy to Use Membership Platform

You want to use a site that is easy to understand and navigate around. Most would agree that it is better to use services where you only need to key in the song or movie title and the download link is right there before you.

5. Download Speed

Paid membership services are known for their in-built high speed architecture. Their search engines are one of the fastest in the industry, boasting of download speeds that are at least 200 to 300 times that of a normal download site.

This should be of concern to you if you watch a lot of movies and videos since these are huge files.

6. Format of iPhone Downloads

iPhones support AAC and its variants, MP3 and its variants like MP3 VBR, Audible Formats 1, 2 and 3, Apple Lossless, WAV, AIFF audio formats. As for video, H.264 and MPEG-4 in .mp4, .m4v, .mov formats are supported by your iPhone.

7. PC Protection

Downloading at paid membership sites is generally safe and secured. But not all sites are equally good. Several professional sites do offer anti-virus and anti-malware software to protect your PC while you download at their sites.

8. Excellent Business Reputation

By this, we are referring to the feedback from users. If their customer base is huge, it does speak volumes about their service. Another important aspect is whether the customer and technical support is available 24/7. We also like to see a professional and responsive helpdesk around.

9. Payment Merchant

Make sure that the service uses Clickbank or PayPal. They are reputable merchants that have been in the business for years and known for good business practices in BBB. In case you do not know, PayPal belongs to eBay.
