I'm not so sure about that. iOS has face recognition APIs for developers to use if they want. Apple use it themselves in the camera app to optimise the auto exposure calculations.
Face based unlocking is a gimmick of the highest order, providing almost no security. It's been widely proven that without stereoscopic cameras providing depth perception these systems can be defeated simply by holding a photo up to the camera.

And as for the display, while it's clearly impressive the choice of words was telling. They only said the display was superior to other displays of 4 inches and above. It's clear their displays, although very good, aren't a true competitor to the retina display yet in terms of image quality. No doubt they'll get there soon though.
