Download beta profile, search for update and install it.
There are no downsides, because this is most likely the release that will be pushed to the public on the 17th and it's alot better then iOS 11 ever was.

Once I download the beta profile can I remove it? I don’t want to opt in to future betas.
I just updated my iphone x from 11.4.1 to 12gm and its like 1.6gb and i deleted the beta profile after.as mentioned above this is the final build that we are going to see next monday.
I just downloaded the profile for the watch and downloaded the gm. No beta available but I wasn’t on beta before.
I also downloaded the full IPSW at 3.3 GB and installed through iTunes. I have done so before with GM of previous iOS releases. This time from the time I began the download to the time that my phone was booted up with iOS 12 was maybe 35 minutes total.
Profile is the easiest way. Easy to access then OTA for install. Ipsw is ancient history.
The developer profile for Watch OS is easily downloaded after a bit of Googling.
Beta profile is a free download from Apple iOS Beta page. After installing the beta profile, you can install iOS 12 GM.
For Watch, if you’re not a registered developer (paid), you may find the watchOS profile available from Google Search (do it at your own risk), and install the profile to your Watch. After that, you will see the software update available in the Watch app on your iPhone.
The update on the Watch (I have the Series 3 already..) was painfully slow and took me several hours. So plan ahead.

Same experience. Not sure there is a risk getting profiles elsewhere as the installs get vetted by Apple servers or they won't install.
As long as the profile says it’s verified and has the green text you know it’s legit.
Everything Apple provides is code signed.
