Good stuff! I'm fairly privacy oriented, I use ProtonMail and their; contacts, calendar, VPN, plus they have a PM-Drive. I use Mega NZ too,
Got a nano sim on Verizon, I made sure the Mini was unlocked so it can go with Tmobile too.
I have a case ordered, an Outterbox Defender ready to go. I have a buffalo terabyte portable drive for backups.
Is there an iPhone app for Mega? I use Mega for pictures and docs. Pics automatically upload on Android, I hope for the same feature on iPhone.
Accidentally, I do have a lightning to usb cable!
I have a 35 watt charger from a Oneplus One 7t Pro 5G and I assume it will run on lower watt phones? It does on my androids.
What is Foil?

The foil (not sure it’s the right term - not a native English speaker 😇) is for the display. I usually just have a silicone bumper so the foil protects the display. Display cover might be the better term.
I don’t really use cloud services. There used to be apps that can manage access to several cloud services and even offer encryption like Cryptomator.
I am a bit sceptical about Mega because the guy behind it is/was on FBI radar so I would assume that they keep a closer look on his projects than any others. Proton as located in Switzerland is a better choice imo. On the other hand for non private data it doesen’t really matter.
I still use the brick from my 5s on my current 8 no idea about more powerful bricks.
Looks like you got the basics covered. You will most likely encounter several inconveniences- well at least I did when I switched to iOS several years ago. It is what it is - being in a walled garden. There are often less options to chose - where Android has 3-5 things how to do something on iOS there might just be 1-2. Ober the time I got over it though.
My only annoyances that persist are lack of sideloading (like from f-droid) and stupid/limited iTunes. There are however pretty good 3rd party tools that can replace iTunes like 3uTools (free) and IMazing (paid). I strongly suggest taking a look at then (IMazing has a feature limited free trial, so you can test before possibly wasting money). Instead of doing a full backup 3rd party tools allow you to just backup photos or contacts and also view/browse the data.

Ah, ok; Foil = Screen Protector
I'll miss fdroid-Newpipe, but I can still use it, and transfer YouTube downloaded music to iPhone. Yeah, fdroid, I used lots of fdroid. :( Hey, thanks for the help, much appreciated!

EU tries to push Apple to open up for additional stores - so we’ll see what comes out of this.
You can use websites like https://yt5s.com to download music videos maybe not as comfy but works at least.
