It looks more to do with how the iPhone application handshakes with the
server.  You won't get much choice without rebuilding the iPhone
application.

There are workarounds to dealing with a lack of the newer APIs
(EC_KEY_new_by_curve_name is a convenience routine that can be synthesized
from older APIs), but the lack of ECDH support entirely is a deal-breaker.

You will have to fetch either a newer OpenSSL (the istatserver code looks
like it supports the new 1.1.x API) or the same version, which you can
compile with ECDH enabled.
