Apple has recently announced the official iOS 13 along with iPhone 11 series. But the iOS 13 will be publicly available from September 19. It means the official iOS 13 OTA will start hitting supported iPhones from September 19 which is one week away. But if you are one of the user like me who can’t wait to test out new updates. Then you can install the iOS 13 right away on your iPhone. This is all possible through the official iOS 13 GM (Golden Master) which Apple has released officially. So here you will know how to Download & Install iOS 13 GM on iPhones. 
iOS 13 GM is the Golden Master build which is closed to stable in terms of stability. But there can be few minor bugs which you may not even notice. And this is publicly available now but you will not be able to see the iOS 13 GM update option on your phone. It is because the iOS 13 GM and iOS 13.1 Beta 3 are available at the same time. So if you (beta users) go to update section it will show the iOS 13.1 Beta 3 version and not the iOS 13 GM. But there is an alternative through which you can safely upgrade your iPhone to iOS 13 GM build.

Why You Need To Install iOS 13 GM Build
First of all, the iOS 13 GM is better than beta build because of fewer bugs and more stability. The stability of iOS 13 GM is close to the official upcoming stable iOS 13. So to test the iOS 13 before its official release without compromising the experience you can install iOS 13 GM build on your iPhone.
Second, if you have the iOS 13.1 beta installed on your iPhone then you will not get the iOS 13 stable updates on your iPhone. It is because it is considered as downgrading. So if you want to get the stable iOS 13 while you are on iOS 13.1 beta build, then first you need to install the iOS 13 GM build. I think this clears up your doubt about the need of iOS 13 GM installation.
Note: You can install iOS 13 GM if your iPhone is currently running on iOS 13 Beta, iOS 13.1 Beta or the latest stable iOS 12.
