Yeah due to the lack of a blue sky, shadows on the moon are basically completely black and challenging to photograph.
Also the Hasselblad camera they sent to the moon back then was actually pretty good even by modern standards.

I think it had a 7x7cm film - that's a humongous, 49cm^2 sensor compared to a regular full-frame camera, which clocks in at 8.64cm^2. As far as I can tell, the iPhone's is a tiny 0.25cm^2.
Combine with no-holds-barred lenses and you're bound to get fantastic pictures even six decades ago.

Of course, nothing can touch the light gathering ability of that Zeiss 50mm f/0.7, but then that lens wasn't very sharp anyway and modern digital sensors can go up to way higher ISO than possible with film while still making decent pictures.
