Downloading OTA via wifi vs iTunes

[joe_m_p]

I read a post on Facebook today from someone who supposedly works for a phone company to not download the OTA update via WiFi and to download from your computer otherwise your digitizer may stop working. Never head or that but was just wondering if people have actually come across that.

I rarely use iTunes for anything. Always update via OTA while on wifi. Never had any problems.

I've done OTA updates on wifi with no problems.

Apple has been doing OTA updates since iOS 5. I've never heard of such an issue.

Always update via OTA since iOS 6 with no issues. It's just convenient, and I'll never want to go back to iTunes for update any more.

What digitizer?

iTunes updates generally provide a cleaner installation but OTA updates have always worked for me. I usually update OTA unless it's a brand new device or a major release (i.e. iOS 8.xx to iOS 9.0).

I have never used anything but OTA downloads and have never had a problem.
