[Michael Joseph]

Hi,

I not sure to upgrade my iPhone to 8 or X........I have some questions and hopefully someone can help me....

1) Any body know if the new iPhone X's Face ID works with all current Touch ID Apps? or we need to wait for the Apps to update?

2) The current NFC machine use in store for Touch ID also work with Face ID??

1) Face ID works with ALL Touch ID apps. Craig said in a talk show that the two APIs are swappable/compatible.

2) Yes, wherever that accepts Apple Pay with Touch ID will work with Face ID. This was confirmed in the keynote.

Read this thread if your debating the 8 vs X, it should help.

Yes!

There is no Touch ID API!!!!

There is only 'local authentication' & 'biometric authentication' api.
