Blurring them out won't help. They need to be removed.
As for exposure, you would normally look for some middle ground between shadows and highlights. Most iPhones I've worked with usually take care of all that for me automatically. I think your phone's exposure is probably working as it should, but you need to make changes during post-processing. Although the image of the lighting is probably a lost cause, as adjusting exposure for everything else eliminated the lightening altogether.
In addition to the usual exposure issues, the composition for this one isn't particularly exciting. In addition to adjust exposure, notice the banding that occurs with even a small attempt to brighten the sky. That's one of the shortcomings of phone images, as they don't provide enough information to correct for the built-in problems.

IMG_0591.JPG - underexposed, chroma noise, lacks sharp focus
IMG_4959.JPG - artifacts
IMG_4609.JPG - lack of detail due to small sensor
iPhones can produce images of acceptable quality under ideal lighting conditions; however the small sensor sometimes can't capture enough detail. All images need to be edited to some extent prior to upload.
