The fingerprint is comprised of more than device and OS:

Browser type and version

Screen resolution

Installed fonts

Browser plugins and extensions

Canvas fingerprinting data

WebGL (graphics hardware info)

Time zone

Language settings

IP address

HTTP headers

Touch support

Device type

AudioContext





Yeah but several of those will also be the same if you have the same iPhone model and iOS. Safari browser updates are installed as part of iOS update. So anyone with the same iOS version has the same version of Safari.
