any help will be appreciated as I'm new to this discussion community thing.
The device will be updated as normal. It's impossible to tell in advance if there will be a problem.

is it like updating do a beta will this erase everthing on my iPhone and was the difference between an iOS 9 GM and a iOS Beta. Thanks.
1. It's impossible to tell in advance. Even if it doesn't normally, a problem may occur.
2. A beta generally isn't ready for the public.

Nobody here can say for certain, but if there are any differences, they'll be minor.

As you can see, their first recommendation is to backup your device.
If you haven't been running the beta so far, why so eager to upgrade now? You will be able to upgrade next week without any problems.
