Used to be worse than that. In the late 80's I think the $ & £ Apple pricing was the same when it was 2 dollars to the pound!
Apparently they have made £ and $ prices the same, so that's another immediate 25% margin, thieving ba5tards. I'll stick to Samsung.

I really do believe that mental health is not positively affected by constantly checking phones all day, be it Email, Facebook, instagram etc.

Oddly I don't find this a problem. My phone does not ping with emails (although I do get several hundred a day) I subscribe to the work / life balance thing is not really a thing and more because work is part of life. I don't expect my job to stop when I leave the office but conversely (and here's the biggy) I don't expect my personal life to stop when I step foot in the office either....

I often switch mine off or put in an offline mode when I don't want to be disturbed. I agree it is not good for society as some important old school skills are being lost.
Does this new phone let you phone people and let people phone you ?
