I've just read from elsewhere, that from the issue date of October 2019, should you wish to do so, you can exchange your old passport for another of the new design.聽 However, there is (currently) no reason for you to do so.

Hi - there is always a charge for the issue of a passport.聽 The charge will be whatever the rate is at the time of application.
