For the display.. Maybe something like an Apple Watch screen since it has a slight curve?

That's kind of what I've been picturing for a while, but I think the display on the 20th Anniversary iPhone will go down further along the sides than an Apple Watch, since that's what all the rumors have been claiming. The edge curves on an Apple Watch's display are more like those on an iPhone X series display.
 
I prefer Touch ID much over Face ID

Why?

I want full control and wish to determine exactly the moment when I give allowance (password) to a procedure, mostly about payment and money!
Don't most payments that are done using the iPhone, at least those made to Apple services, require the user to double-click the side/power button anyway to initiate the process, which would be the button used for Touch ID with iPhones that don't have Face ID? That's been my experience. I don't use my iPhone 17PM to buy much of anything other than Apple services through the Wallet app, since I prefer to make most online purchases using my Macbook, so I don't have a lot of experience buying other things using an iPhone, though a couple times I've used my iPhone to make a contactless payment at Target and Whole Foods, and even there I had to press the side button twice to start the process, and Face ID came into play only inbetween those button presses and tapping the iPhone onto the payment terminal.

So having to tap the side button twice to start a payment, on an iPhone that has Face ID, gives you at least some non-Face ID control over the process, sort of like having to apply your finger to the button to read your fingerprint on the iPhone Air.

Thanks for information!

I admit not to know enough about Face ID - Touch ID is a natural ergonomic feature and works parallel to Touch ID in my MBP...
