Here are a couple of ways of transferring data from the iPhone to a Samsung phone.
1. Use the Smart Switch transfer - This is a Samsung application that you can uses out of the box. Not sure what it is like, but I am assuming that it would be good.

Each company: Sony, LG etc will have their own version of this type of software. Normally when you first get the phone and plug it into your computer it will either have it pre-installed into the phone, which will ask you if you wish to do a transfer or you can just go to the companies website and do a search.
They are all relativity simple and will guide you through the process.
In some cases this is very good, although in my experience, they always leave something behind which you have to enter manually at a later date.
I would always give this a go first though.
2. The other way is to use a 3rd party software. It would do the same thing as the Samsung/Sony etc one but maybe a little better. An example for a Samsung S7 is listed below.

If you want to link your calendar events and stuff like that because you use a mac calendar (I don't think you would do that as you don't have a mac, but maybe you use an ipad calendar) there are a number of apps on the google store, things like isync etc. What this does is if you do use a mac or ipad etc and want to continue to sync all you contacts with itunes, icloud, etc this will transfer any updates on a regular basis.
Like I said though for you I would just transfer everything to your phone and use the google calendar etc and get away from the itunes/apple.
Some apps that I would recommend that you get:
To maintain your phones memory etc:
1.
Greenify - Once you set this up it will close any apps that are not being used.
2.
Clean Master - If your phones are slow this cleans the memory.
3.
AVG Anti Virus or any antivirus (do get an antivirus, there are loads on there and if you don't want to pay just google the best free antivirus for android)
To back up your phone:
Titanium backup or Easy Backup (these are a bit like icloud back up, but you can store the backup to an sd card or to a computer.
Document editing and creation:
1.
Dropbox
2.
Office Mobile or OfficeSuite
3.
Adobe Acrobat
File Browser:
File Commander - This app is a bit like windows explorer, allows you to go into all the files and folders on your phone, both sd card and the phone itself.
Notes and Reminders:
1.
Evernote - This app stores any notes that you make to a cloud and on the phone. Good for general notes etc and you can log into it from any device.
2.
Tasks - Its a reminder app. Good for work and personal stuff.
Some apps you can pay for, although if you don't think you would use it then don't pay, there are loads of free alternatives on google store.
The samsung transfer will also allow you to sync apps that you have on your iphone too. I am sure that Sony etc have added this feature to their software as well.
There are loads of other apps that you may want for music, pictures, games, social media, fitness, etc But this is very individual and easy to find with a quick look on the app store.
