Well I honestly prefer the traditional finger Touch ID. Facial recognition would be a second option but I don't think it is reasonable for them to totally remove Touch ID in the next iPhone. What if it gets difficult trying to recognize your face at night or while in a club? It sounds crazy holding your phone close to your face in order for it to unlock. Anyone could easily use a picture of you to unlock it. Finger ID is the best option here.

What if Apple make facial recognition so good that it can easily detect a facial expression? When you set it up you could add an expression, and then when you try to unlock the phone you do that expression to authenticate (like a smile or a wink).

Not having TouchID is a way bigger issue than Apple will let on. Facial recognition is not at all secure. There are many ways to overcome it. As an example, what if police confiscate a phone from someone and then just hold it up to a suspects face? The same could be done by a would be mugger or thief. A so called "not a cheap phone" that is lacking features sounds right inside Apples wheelhouse though so...

I disagree with that example. Police or anyone could force you to use TouchID; some suggest even physical means could be used to obtain a fingerprint. Every system has risks.

How would Facial Recognition work in the dark, such as in bed or a dark club? It seems unwise to remove TouchID. Face registration with TouchID would have been a good addition, not a total replacement.
