The same MAC address or the same IP address? If your Mac is connected by cable and also has Wi-Fi enabled it will appear as 2 devices on your router, once for the cable and once for the Wi-Fi connection. Both devices will have the same MAC address. It is impossible for your iPhone to have the same MAC address as your computer; the MAC address is set in hardware.
