Welcome to the Light Side. The XR is an excellent phone and I'm sure you will like iOS quite a lot. Be sure to jump to our iOS sub-forums if you have any iOS/iPhone specific questions.

The latest Mac Mini is a formidable Mac for a fairly robust price and compares quite well to the iMac. You can also check out the Apple refurbished store to get new Macs at a discounted price but with the warranty of the new machines.

I have considered a Mac Mini but I must say the last time I went to best buy and saw the iMac I was in love.

The iMac screen is quite nice, but the latest Mac Mini can drive 5K monitors without any problems.

You'll get the hang iOS in no time. I made the same switch over 6 years ago. Wouldn't imagine going back to Android.

How's the camera? Especially selfies in low light?

I am thinking of getting the XS

I have its predecessor, the iPhone X. Camera front/back is excellent in more or less all lighting conditions. Not encountered a problem as yet, anyway.

I have the iPhone XS and regardless of that, I'm not a fan of selfies.

@Rocky97

Just to be clear - in my post #9, I stand by my point that my iPhone X takes pictures with both cameras (front and back) in a satisfactory way - which is what you asked. The XS camera system is as near identical to the X as makes no difference.

I have made no comment about selfies as a medium as that was not what you asked. My views on that point coincide with our Moderator, but, again, that was not your question and what you do with your iPhone is none of my business:D

If you re-read my post then yes, that is what i asked. You said the camera fromt/back is okay... Raz0Edge said it's crap so now I'm confused :p

I'm loving this phone. Not as hard of a switch as I thought. Nicest phone I've ever owned and a thanks to my Son & Brother.

Nope, he did not say that. What he did say was that selfies are "dumb," i.e, he thinks the practice of taking selfies is stupid. He didn't say they were "crap" at all.
