Apple will not "replace" Touch ID with facial recognition.
That is just virtually not possible, due to it being prone to problems, the touch id lacks.
At the worst case, they might ADD it to the existing touch id tech, but replacing it would just be like shooting your own arm, because sleeves of your shirt need holes for ventilation.
I mean, come on, how would you use facial recognition in the darkness? IR diodes? Ok, fine, but you would have to turn your phone toward your face precisely, so that the camera array can "see" your face. That is real convenient! What happens when your phone has happened to register someone else's face (by accident). Would it consider it to be false attempt or would it just ignore it?
There is just too many ways this could go wrong, while offering no discernible benefit over the existing touch ID auth tech.
