What you're describing is the problem with auto white balance, which affects phone cameras and webcams equally. Often it works well, but sometimes (like in your case) it fails disastrously.

Unfortunately the iPhone (and Mac's built-in FaceTime) cameras have no option to manually set the white balance. You need to use third-party apps/webcams to handle it.

I think the new iPhones ship with native ProRAW support, which might mean that the built-in Photos app would be able to access the same amount of imaging data that a specialised RAW editor could in prior versions.
