Face ID : A new report claims that Apple will include Face ID in all of its 2018 iPhone devices , reports BGR .

As such, previous rumors were saying it won't feature Face ID.

App Store : A new policy in the App Store is causing many apps to be taken down , MacRumors notes. The new policy seeks to ban apps from the App Store that include gambling. However, many apps with no gambling components to them are being taken down due to this policy change. It appears the reason behind the removal of these apps is that they allow users "unrestricted web access."

Passport : Apple may want to make the iPhone a substitute for a passport , reports AppleInsider . This news comes in the form of a patent titled "Document importation into secure element." It would allow owners to import their passport information into the company's devices. The person could then use this to prove their identity. It would also work with other forms of identification.
