Petr Škuta Even before the Apple Keynote itself, other information surfaced. A leading representative of the company confirmed that we can look forward to the expansion of Face ID to other devices. On the contrary, Touch ID has definitely not said its last word.
Apple's vice president for marketing Greg Joswiak confirmed in an interview for the British Daily Express Face ID extension. However, the interview was about biometric user authentication in general, so we also learned about the company's other plans.

Dan Pražák "We will certainly continue to expand Face ID to other devices, but Touch ID will continue to have its merits," Joswiak said. "It's great technology and it's going to stay in iPads for a while at least."
“Touch ID was the first biometric authentication to hit the mainstream. It has changed the way users perceive the security of their devices. And that at a time when most users didn't even have an ordinary password set."
“But we wanted to further improve biometric authentication, so we ended up coming up with Face ID. It first came to users two years ago together with the iPhone X. Unlocking the phone with a glance was much more pleasant than putting a finger for Touch ID.”
With a cutout for eternity
The Daily Express then asked questions about biometric authentication at competitors and a comparison of the two methods.
“The whole Face ID is a very expensive system. Our competitors think they can do something similar with just a single camera, and often try. But there's an obvious reason why Face ID is so expensive. All those components together can do something other than just capture a 2D image."
“It's good to be aware of what that little cutout at the top of the iPhone screen hides. It contains many advanced technologies. There's a speaker, a microphone, a light sensor, a proximity sensor, plus all the sensing components that Face ID itself uses."

Joswiak subsequently denied that Apple would try the tricks that the notch makers use to defend themselves in the near future. For example, cameras shooting from the top of the display, separation of sensors and their relocation to other parts, and others used by One Plus, Samsung and other companies were named.
“The competition certainly deserves credit for trying new things. After all, a competitive environment is what moves the world forward. But we have no plans to try this way (of the proposal) yet."
According to the latest information, it will be Face ID in the upcoming iOS 13 up to 30% faster. After all, we will find out in a few days, when the system will be available in a sharp version.

It would be nice to have touch id back. And already under the display or preferably in PW. Add Face ID and it would be perfectly secured. Here is my laundry.
