"Apple says it can authenticate a user using Face ID on their iPhone without turning over any of their personal data to a 3-p company."

So is this feature exclusive to Face ID and iPhone? Would users, Face ID enabled or not, be able to use it with only their iCloud email/ID? And would older iPhone models incapable of FaceID still be eligible?

These may be just questions of a skeptical mind, but I really hope Apple isn't using a pro-user, pro-privacy feature to phase users out of older models.
