Those anti-fingerprinting tools should make you appear as the most common iPhone as much as possible.

What is the most common iPhone? Should the common iPhone browser experience be scaled up to a desktop resolution, or should the desktop browser limit itself to the common iPhone resolution? What about mobile Safari bugs or misfeatures, such as webRTC shortcomings, or CSS bugs, or viewport resizing/scaling/zoom bugs?

There are so many possible variations that it seems like preventing fingerprinting by pretending you're something you're not would be an impossible task and makes you even more unique, not less.

You could pretend to be something you are not but if you keep giving the same info everything will be grouped together.
