Thanks to your iPhone’s Deep Fusion processing powers the Camera app can capture a series of different exposures for brighter and darker parts of the scene and then combine them in a single correctly exposed shot. This should result in a photo that features detail and colour in the shadows, midtones and highlights.
However, sometimes you might need to make some manual tweaks to reveal more detail and colour in underexposed shadows or overexposed highlights. Take the shot in step 1 here for example. This was snapped on an iPhone 12 and while the sky looks fine, the building’s details are lost in shadow.
