Apple's OS vs downloading it

[SaberSerene]

For awhile when Apple comes out with an iPhone OS update I usually don't download from Apple's servers I download the OS from iPod and iPhone Firmware Download Does anyone think I should be downloading from Apple's servers? Its funny because when tethering was all around and that update I forgot which one it was.. but anyway if you updated at that time it disabled tethering. Now since I downloaded the OS from that site I didn't lose my tethering.

It's completely up to you but the way I figure it is if you download from Apple it will do what they say it will.

if you download from somewhere else it may be hacked to steal your information.

Wait a sec? Its not hacked software. Its uploaded to that site.

If Apple doesn't personally upload their updates to that site you have no way of knowing if anything was changed by whoever uploaded it.

Sure, it's unlikely but it's a possibility, no matter how remote.

Hm that's true, but I want to get more input about this from other people on here. Though what you said makes me wonder if you're right.
