iPhone Do I need to downgrade before updating next week?

[Abazigal]

I am currently on the iOS 9 public beta. When the official iOS 9 release is published on 16 September, do I need to first downgrade to iOS 8.4.1 before I can upgrade, or will I be able to update directly?

Thanks in advance for your help.

You'll be able to upgrade directly. No downgrading needed. OTA or through iTunes, your choice.

Is the GM the same thing? All I am seeing is a prompt to download iOS 9.1 beta.

The 9.1 beta was made available to us as a public beta testers and I'm currently on 9.1, will I need to downgrade so I can install the final version of iOS 9 when it becomes available to the public OTA?

yes the gm will be whats going live in 4 days, unless some major serious bug like freezing the device comes up, which 99% of the time doesnt happen. u see update prompt for ios 9.1 beta cause of ur public beta profile, since apple is still doing public betas & 9.1 public beta 1 was released already. gm is not over ota anyway ull need to use itunes if u want it now, it will be made ota when its public

I was on the last iOS 9.0 Beta and just restored the Goldmaster, no problems.
