Currently using finger recognition for several apps. Will face recognition automatically update to these apps or will I have to update each one separately?
You train the iPhone on your face once. Then you can enable Face ID authentication in apps that support it. If I recall correctly, the ones on which I'm using Face ID put up little dialogs or links asking if I wanted to use it; they prompted me, instead of me guessing that they might support it in hidden settings somewhere.
I wear glasses all the time. Is there an option to have two face recognitions. One for each pair of glasses I have?
I don't know.
With iPhone 7 I can double click the home button to display all the apps that are open and then swipe the apps I wish to close down. How is this done on iPhone 13?
You swipe up from the very bottom of the screen in order to shrink the current app display into a floating window. From there, I think the display and the swiping gestures you use to close apps or to select another app are pretty much the same whether you are using a phone with a home button, or a phone without one.
At what point do I move my sim card over from the old phone to the new phone?
Check with your carrier. Assuming that you have Wi-Fi Internet service, you can use an unlocked iPhone to do just about anything that doesn't require cellular voice, text, or data service.
When the apps are copied over to the new phone. Will they appear in the same order (screens) as on my current phone?
I'm not sure what will happen with that.
Finally.. Is there a User Guide on how and what to do when moving data/apps etc from old iPhone to new iPhone?
My understanding is that there are two main ways of moving from one iPhone to another. I'm guessing that Quick Start is the one
Use Quick Start to transfer data to a new iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support
If you are synchronizing data to iCloud (e.g., using iCloud Photos), or using e-mail accounts where the main copies of e-mail are kept on the server, then reconnecting to iCloud and to those e-mail accounts is what would bring data (or access to it) over to your new phone. I'm guessing that a Quick Start or a Restore will take care of copying your iCloud and e-mail settings, but if for some reason they don't, you could enter those settings again manually.
Also see:
What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
which suggests using Quick Start to transfer information to the new phone before you remove personal information from the old one.
Note carefully the statement
"You shouldn't manually delete your contacts, calendars, reminders, documents, photos, or any other iCloud information [from the old phone] while you're signed in to iCloud with your Apple Account. This would delete your content from the iCloud servers and any of your devices signed in to iCloud."
With iCloud synchronization, deleting something anywhere is a request to delete it everywhere.
