Ok we get it, every beta user got the message, there won't be a GM until after the event. STOP POSTING THE SAME CRAP.
It's just a report my friend, don't angry
You are following a useless thread from the start, remember...
I got this pop up when I went to the "Software update" section. It's happening!

I'm going to do an update because I'm abroad and I have not taken my computer. But you should do a full restore, it's better ! I'm going to do that when I would return home
This text is from Apples beta software program site.
How do I get a shipping version of iOS back on my iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch?
Always back up your iOS device before installing beta software. To get a shipping release of iOS on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, you can simply install the final version of the software you are testing when it appears in Software Update. If you would like to go back to a previously released version, you must first erase the beta software, then re-install the latest shipping version of iOS, and finally restore from your previously saved iTunes backup.

That certainly mentions the final version (vs the GM)...we'll have to see how it all goes.
You can SHIFT + UPDATE in iTunes once the GM .ipsw is downloaded from the Dev Center.
I'm excited and nervous for iOS 9 for my iPhone 6 and my iPad 4. Right now I'm on 8.4 on my iPhone 6 keeping the door open for a jailbreak. I hope you guys can give a good mini review on the performance of GM for the iPhone 6. I really hope performance is at the very least up to par with 8.4. I played with the beta and I came away feeling that if the GM is the same I'm going to stick on 8.4 until the iPhone 7 next year!
Right now 8.4 is great for what I use my 6 for. My only complaint is the music app doing the 2-5 second lag thing after playing music for awhile. It's a real bug that affects everyone and its still not fixed on 8.4.1 as I can get my iPad 4 to do it as well.
I'm starting to believe that it's true that you should leave the major iOS version your phone came with on it for the duration you have it to enjoy the best performance! I'm sure the 6s will run iOS 9 great as they are probably programming it specifically to run the best on that hardware. All the other devices seem to be getting sloppy seconds in the past and its annoying!
Every upgrade with my iPad 4 has been a true downgrade with overall performance with basic things like safari browsing! iOS 6 was lighting quick with safari and now with 8.4.1 it's laggy with the scrolling and it takes much more time to load web pages. I really wish I could go back to 6 on it. Lesson learned!
Anyways I'm still holding out hope that Apple is true to their word about performance this time with iOS 9. So far the beta has been disappointing. And I can't stand the new font! It's not cleaner or easier to read IMO. I end up staring at the letters and thinking about them and how weird they look and I feel like I installed a crappy font on bytafont that I can't delete right away! I might become one of those people who have the red 1 badge on their settings app for a long time to come!
Another problem I have is the FaceTime camera shifting problem. I'm really thinking about sending it in again (that's a whole other story...4th time camera shifting problem) before the warranty is up but then I know it will come back with that goofy font and iOS 9. But also when I go to sell my 6 next year I don't want it to feature that little foam washer in the camera too for someone to look at and say I don't want that! Decisions decisions.

Correct, but what he meant was you can't OTA update to the GM through the phone itself.
The GM has never been released as an OTA update, so no, you cannot.
(Yes, the GM usually ends up being identical to the public release, but that's different. The GM is still technically only released to developers until the following week when the same build is released as an OTA.)
So Apple expects public beta testers to restore with iTunes? I don't know about that.
The Public Beta ones have. Just look at 8.3 and 8.4.
Trust me: you'll be able to simply update it.
