Latest iPhone 8 rumor hints at facial recognition support for ApplePay
Now, additional information found in the code reveals that Apple has actually assembled a system that authenticates Touch ID payments, i.e Apple Pay, via a face scan rather than fingerprint. A "com.apple.passbook.payment" string found in the HomePod firmware refers to "pearl.field-detect" and "pearl.pre-arm" as highlighted below. Previous leaks have made it clear that use of the word "pearl" cites Pearl ID - Apple's facial recognition system.
As of yet, it remains to be seen if the company will entirely eliminate the necessity of the Home button when making use of Apple Pay. It is yet unclear if the facial recognition system might ever be as reliable as Touch ID, but rumors suggest that this new technology covers more data points than a fingerprint scan. In any case, it’ll soon become apparent whether or not it provides users with the same degree of usability that Touch ID has been offering for quite some time.

Sume Facial recognition has always been very gimmicky in my opinion. I'll always prefer a strong & constantly updated password.
Same, but just to have some cool fancy program that scans your face is a feature that many would want to experience.

this is pretty dumb... our faces can be showed in all sorts of ways.. our fingerprints can't. Identical twins will have fun with this feature.

Such a bad idea IMO whats to stop a person holding up a picture and using that to get into your phone, sure snapchat does sometime's think my lampshade is a face sometime's. Keep the finger lose the face I say

Sounds cool I suppose but still would prefer fingerprint ID but it seems theyre removing that.
