I'm wondering whether Apple sees this technology totally replacing TouchID, or if they will continue to offer it in the next 3-5 years on some devices?

- Helloworldboy 9y agoGiven the rumors that they were trying to embed it into the screen, my guess is that 11 will had both FaceID and screen embedded TouchID
- MBCook 9y agoIf this works well enough, is there a point to going through all that trouble and expense?

- MBCook 9y agoSorry, I meant the trouble and expense of including the TouchID sensor in future phones once you already have FaceID on them.
