So I was beta testing iOS 13 and got as far as 13.1 beta 2 before deciding to un-enroll and delete the beta profile from my iPhone XS Max (I didn’t roll back, I just deleted the profile so I am currently running 13.1 beta 2).

My question is whether, come 13.0 GM release date on 19th Sept, I will receive the 13.0 GM or will it not prompt an update until 13.1 GM is released on 30th Sept?

Thank you in advance.

Since you're on 13.1 now, you'll have to wait until 13.1 gets released, though I think I'd read that you can go from 13.1 Beta to, to 13 GM (you'd have to search and find that), and not sure if it causes data loss/corruption/etc.

Ok, thanks for the reply, it’s not like it’s a long wait for 13.1 so I’ll just wait to see what it offers me OTA.

was just curious really.

I have just downgraded from 13.1 to 13.0 today and so far, there’s been no data loss and everything looks ok
 
Although this is uncharted territory for Apple, the way they've rolled out the GMs for iOS 13 seems to indicate that there will not be a direct path from a 13.1 beta back to the 13.0 release version. You can still get back by downloading the 13.0 IPSW (when it is available to the public next week) and restoring back to it. However, if you have don't have a 13.0 archived backup, you quite likely will not be able to restore from a backup, hence the possible data loss. But if you do have an archived backup, you would be good to go. I think, though, that you're smart to wait.

Out of curiosity, any particular reason for the downgrade?

I’ve realised that living without work emails isn’t as easy as I thought it would be, so I’m wanting to get access to work emails on the Monday after iOS 13has been released.

That, and I’d like my WhatsApp chats to actually be backed up.

Considering there will be just 11 days gap between public releases of iOS 13.0 and 13.1, I would just stick to your iOS 13.1 beta cycle and remove the beta profile just before 30 Sep, when iOS 13.1 is due. IMHO, you will save yourself plenty of time, energy and health doing so. ;)

Yes, though I’m on Catalina: option and click the upgrade button and use the IPSW containing the image.

Did you need Xcode beta to do this? When I tried rolling back it was saying that I couldn’t.

Every time I use One UI I get iOS 13 jelly. Is it worth going to the dev GM or .1 betas right now or just wait until the OTA on the 20th?

Be kind to yourself and just wait for the iOS 13 official release in 4 days. You can then just update your iPhone OTA totally fuss-free.

Yes, I did it on both mine and my wife's phone this morning. I used the link i posted above everything went super smooth. I am using the gmail app for now. did not want to deal with fixing the mail app.

I’m torn between rolling back my X so I can have a backup for my 11 Pro on Friday or just setting up my phone as new. I’ve never set a phone up as new but with messages in the cloud and everything else being linked to the cloud I feel as if a backup is not as necessary. I have about 250 apps on my phone 75% of which I probably don’t use so I’d just have to start clean with those and download them.

I went back to iOS 13 beta 8 because of a game I played could not connect to cellular after updating to iOS 13.1 beta 1 and beta 2 but could in iOS 13 beta 8. After a bit of hassle syncing back my entire iTunes library, the downgrading process worked out well enough, although Voice Memo app was broken, and stock mail app was painfully slow and buggy.

I think the easiest way for you to do is using Catalina beta to roll back to iOS 13 GM if needed. The catch is you first need a time machine backup. Then, right before restoring your time machine backup, use the disk utility to delete all partitions and create a single volume, otherwise the restore will fail. I have no idea how Xcode beta and iTunes works, plus it needs iTunes 12.9 or later, which is a no go for me (I am using High Sierra).

Yes, technically, and you have the option to not lose your data. I think the easiest way for you to roll back is using Catalina beta (or GM version in that matter) to roll back. See my post above.

I'm not sure I follow this--was there a problem with iOS 13.1 betas and Exchange/ActiveSync support in native mail app or something?

I had not realized we were already in iOS 13.1... I was planning on updating 11 Pro to iOS 13... Looks like I will be doing that and rolling back iPhone X to iOS 13 tonight.

Any tips on how to do this? I wish I could just restore from a iOS 13 backup.
[doublepost=1568594457][/doublepost]Theoretically, could I enroll my new iPhone in the beta? Then, unenroll and wait for iOS 13.1 GM to update out?
