Apple Maps will allow a complete 180° rotation while turn by turn directions are active, but whether that works seems to depend on which iPhone model. That's the only case I know where there's a complete 180° flip, although perhaps other mapping apps (like Google Maps) might also allow it. I find it useful because I can just place it in a cupholder and have the charge cable sticking out, rather than awkwardly sitting on a bent charge cable.
I heard that iPhones with the notch generally don't do it - probably something to do with how to program the reorientation with the notch present.

All of the phones with the notch do not flip upside down.
