Im thinking about getting the S23 along with using my current iPhone as my daily driver due to the fact that its not too big and much cheaper as I am in a tight budget.

Is Samsung still doing the Region Lock thing where one has to make call for at least 5 minutes using there own country's SIM card? The very last Samsung Galaxy devices I owned was the S4 and the S10 and that was Region Locked and said on the box European SIM Only.

Also, perhaps the main reason is getting a Samsung phone is because of their secure KNOX feature.
I heard it's even more secure than the iOS Secure Enclave feature.

So, is the KNOX more secure than the iOS Secure Enclave?

It is!

Because it's beyond just a single chip it's from the SoC chipset layer on upwards and includes ram, storage sub chip components.

Try a few searches on Knox and how it's implemented and improved upon over the last 10yrs to find out more.
