Congratulations on your iPhone! Until the iPhone 4, I was a huge android fanatic. Since then, I have used nothing but Apple. It took some adjustment at first, but within a week or two, I was sold. Adding my iPad Pro and Apple Watch to the line up, and I can’t use anything other than Apple. Just allow yourself to fully use your iPhone and I think you will stick with it.
 
Welcome to the fold!

If you're a case person, I highly recommend a leather case. Apple's is okay but Decoded gets my vote this year.
 
I just bought a cheap case off Amazon, couldn’t pass it up for 12 bucks and it has a metal plate built in the back and came with two tempered glass protectors

I love slim cases. You should look into Caudabe cases. I love their cases and no matter what case I switch to temporarily, I always come back to my Caudabe sheath.

I picked up an XS Max off Facebook marketplace, the back is cracked but other than that the phone is good. My first big complaints coming from my Pixel are the notifications and I do not like the app folders and screens, I ended up deleting everything and moving it to just one screen and putting all my apps in one folder so that helped a lot. I think I will really like being able too use I message on my MacBook and iPad with it.

Congratulations and hopefully you enjoy it! What iOS version are you on? In iOS 14 you can just let it put all the apps in the App Library.

Those DO look nice! I like slim cases also. Good price too. I bought Apple's Silicone case for my 12 Pro Max which I like, but when I feel like switching I have that site bookmarked now. Thanks for posting it.
