Hello there

Surprisingly today, when I take pictures of the sky, I can see a black dot or stain when I zoom in. Is it normal? Or is it just a dust?

It's either dirt on the lens or on the sensor.
Clean the lens and see if it goes away.
I don't know of any way you can clean the sensor on an iphone.
 
Thanks for your answer. I cleaned the lens and the stain appears not every time but when I zoom in.

I talk to Apple Support and they are going to replace it tomorrow.
 
OK great.
It's a real nuisance getting dirt on the sensor. In good quality DSLR cameras they can vibrate to get the dust off but you still have to clean them sometimes.
Good luck
 
They changed the camera. They said it could be due to an impact but I never dropped it. So all good now.
