like I want to take videos that can focus on everything at the same time without losing background detail. Like if I was focusing on a person I don't want the background to lose quality.
Got a tip for us?

Is there a way to record with infinity focus on iPhone 7 ?

Best you can do is take the image in very good lighting so the lens stops down to increase depth of field.
Many prefer the background out of focus to put all the emphasis on the person in the image. This is why Apple brought us the portrait mode.

Difficult to do. The iPhone doesn't have a mechanical aperture. So stopping it down does not change Depth of Field. The wider aperture lets more light in, decreases the Depth of Field and gives the out of focus background. DOF is related to distance to subject so stepping back from your subject may help in your case.
Moving you subject farther away will not increase depth of field. If the aperture is fixed so is the DOF. I do agree that if the subject is closer to the background, both will be in apparent focus.
I learn every day.
That is incorrect actually. Your focus distance is directly correlated to the depth of field. Aperture has nothing to do with since it is a constant.

Play around with this^ only change the subject distance (focal distance) and watch your DOF change. (Camera (sensor size) doesn't matter as long as it's constant)
there 3rd party recording apps in the app store that lock the focus field? so pic the target and lock it in, it will keep that focus.
