They've been really misleading with their numbers for Face ID security.
They talk about the chances of a random person being able to unlock your phone going from 1 in 50,000 on Touch ID to 1 in 1,000,000 with Face ID, but the difference is that Touch ID is only subject to random attacks, while Face ID introduces the possibility of targeted attacks, because it's very easy to tell what you need to fool the phone.

Well, I just spotted the Galaxy S8 for just over £500 on Amazon so I've ordered one of those and I'll see how I get on with it. I'm pretty heavily tied into Apple though, what with Apple music, photo sharing and whatnot with the family.
Will see how it goes - and keep the iPhone 7 just in case!

Photos is a bit difficult and the easiest option is to move really to Google Photos as it is cross platform, but Apple Music is available on Android so you are all good on that front.

The American price doesn't include taxes, so I don't know why everyone keeps referring to that. Apple have also been doing this for years. They do not work by the exchange rate. Everything over here will be more expensive.
But at the end of the day all smart phones are getting expensive. S8 plus launched at £800 and now the price has dropped rapidly. The Note 8 is launching on Friday for £879. Pixel xl 128gb cost £819 which was the same price as the iPhone 7 plus 128gb.
