You should be aware of (and OK with) the limitations a phone may have compared to its more expensive counterparts. For instance, if you want an iPhone with a bigger screen than the iPhone SE and iPhone 11's screens, your next best option is the $899 iPhone 15 Plus. That's far outside the $500 price range, but you also get additional benefits like an improved camera.
