Is there any way I can plug my iPhone into my Phantom 3 Standard controller? Or is there any other way I can improve transmission quality?
Thanks!

No. The P3S remote only connects to your display device with wifi.
For your second question, the range you will get between the remote and the aircraft is dependant on many factors. Best way to improve range is by pointing the remote at the aircraft with the antenna positioned vertical and parallel to the aircraft.  Insure the aircraft is flying high enough so that the radio signal is not blocked by buildings, trees, etc.

The P3S does the transmission via WIFI only. The WIFI antennas is on left and right sides of the stock antenna of the RC with the stickers >do ton cover< In CE area the 14 FCC 19 and MIC 10 dbm.
Look for your location. I think Japan is CE or MIC area.

Hi Alabama, I use an amped ITELITE DBS for the 5.8 and I use an amped ITELITE MAXXRANGE for the 2.4  I use a tripod too.  Works great.  It outruns the battery.  Yes, I did the mods myself.

Try doing the Argtek mod and using the directional antennas they give you. My Standard now flies just like my Phantom 3 Professional. It made a big difference!

I second that ... its easy to do and gives a boost to the 2.4Ghz signal ... improving video / telemetry range.
