Q: iOS 9.1 public beta to iOS 9?!

II've got the public beta 9.1 on my iPhone 6 but I'm not able to update to iOS 9?

 

i Go into setting, then general, and then software update but it doesn't show up that there is an iOS 9 update :/

IS this because I have the iOS 9.1 public beta release?

Thanks,

Ben

iPhone 6, iOS 8.4.1, I actually have the iOS 9 BETA

    You were given instructions with the beta on what you needed to do. Follow those instructions. if you did not archive a backup to restore, then you will need to put the device into DFU mode in order to restore it back to 8.4.1 or clear it for 9.0.

     

    Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:

     

    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.

       1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the

           other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.

       2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds

           until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.

     

                  * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the

                    Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,

                    release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.

     

      3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the

           device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,

           let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some

           charge, and then start with step 2 again.

      4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.

           When this screen appears you can release the Home button:

      5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:

      6. Use iTunes to restore the device.

     

    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.

    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

    About iOS beta software - Apple Support

     

    If you have an iOS beta version and want to download the final version, follow these steps:

    Connect your device to iTunes.While your device is connected, force it to restart. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. Don't release when you see the Apple logo. Keep holding until you see the Recovery Mode screen.When asked, choose Update to download and install the latest nonbeta version of iOS.

    An update install won't affect your content or settings.

    Yes, but the official information from the beta doesn't require unplugging and plugging the USB cable back in. Nor does it require turning the device off first.
