Face ID vs Touch ID
So lets have this discussion. I want to see true points where Touch ID would be better than Face ID and vice versa. We all know Face ID hasn't been used by any of us yet so we can only take Apple's word for it to work as advertised. (Looking at those screaming how terrible Face ID is when they...- Bane-Thunder

FaceID with apps that use TouchID
Does anyone know how FaceID works with apps that currently use TouchID for authentication? Will it "just work"? Or will developers have to add the functionality in which case I'll have to go back to manually entering my password until they get around to it? -
FaceID Multiple Users
I read the security features for FaceID and the biggest issue I see for me is how it handles "changes to your face." It says if you change your face (shave thick beard off), FaceID will require a pin and then it will update your FaceID imprint. I often allow my family and friends to use my pin... -
Taking Photos: TouchID vs FaceID

Other Would you give up 3D Touch for TouchID in the display?
It was interesting to read a report by Ming-Chi Kuo stating that 3D touch was a reason why the in-display TouchID sensor for the new iPhone X never made it to production. Here's a section from the article on 9to5mac.com: "While this year, Face ID is limited to the iPhone X, Kuo believes it will... -
FaceID vs TouchID
Rumors of the iPhone Pro removing TouchID and relying on FaceID instead have me concerned. It took me a while to trust TouchID to the minimum level I do now. And I have bigger doubts in regards to FaceID. Most of the critics I pay attention to seem to be focused on how fast FaceID will be and... -

Just had a thought which adds some fuel to the fire on the latest rumour regarding the removal of TouchID. Initial beta testers of iOS 11 were confused when they pulled down the notification centre for the first time to find that it now looks like a more like the lock screen.

I recently discovered a surprising inconvenience in the home button.
