Apple has followed up the developer beta of iOS 13.1 and iPadOS 13.1 with a public version.
After surprising developers with a beta release of iOS 13.1, instead of the anticipated continuation of version 13, Apple has now released a public version too.
While Apple has not commented on this release or on the move to betas of iOS 13.1, the developer version included features that the company had promised for the forthcoming release but were not in the latest iOS 13 beta. It's assumed, then, that feature such as the new Automation tab are going to be held back for a later 13.1 update.
If you are already on Apple's public beta program, then you can get the new version by going to Settings on your iPhone or iPad and choosing General, Software Update.
Apple's official beta sign-up website is still active, but you can expect the final release of iOS 13 to be within the next couple of weeks at most.

yeeeeeeah.....I'm not going to set up for that yet. I don't want to potentially miss out on the GM for 13.0.
I do have a question though, what about further Betas for 13.0? Are they still coming out? How will they be released? Will there be an option to select which one?
How’s battery life on iOS 13 public beta so far?
Cannot comment on battery life on the iPhone, but on the iPad Pro it is a little less than the current release.
For the most part it is bug free excepting little things like “open in a new tab” not being consistent on all web sites.
ipados 13.1 is very buggy on my 12.9 ipad pro 2nd gen. Don’t install this one, its not stable. Icons on home screen are a mess. Touchscreen unresponsive. All reported to Apple.
