This could be a dead end, but I'm looking to connect to an Arduino via an iPhone or Android phone wirelessly. I chose wifi over bluetooth because of the lower latency and ability to possibly stream video in the future. Is there any way I could get 300m+ without any hardware changes to the phone?
Yes connect you arduino using an Ethernet shield to a good access Point.I recommend ubiquiti Access Point and mikrotik routerBoard AP.Then simply connect your iPhone the the wireless notework and access it by web

Describe that technology (WiFi over Bluetooth) please because that's not a common term. BTW streaming video to an Arduino doesn't make sense (missing resources on the Arduino side, RAM and processing power).

With line of sight and a directed antenna you might get that by WiFi.
You should start by telling us what you want to achieve. Maybe the community has some alternative technologies for you.
I was wondering about "wifi over bluetooth" myself wondering if that was some new protocol. I think he means that he chose wifi rather than bluetooth.
Sorry about the confusion, I did mean that I just chose Wifi instead of Bluetooth
