Hyperfocal distance iPhone 15

Can anyone tell me what the hyperfocal distance and the hyperfocal near limit are from the main lens of iPhone 15. I take landscape photos that I want everything in focus. I find the wide-angle lens useless because it's very poor quality visually. And the zooms equally so since they are only 12 MB.

iPhone 15, iOS 18

For iPhone 15, I found this by googling "iphone 15 camera lens specs"

48MP Main: 26 mm, ƒ/1.6 aperture, sensor‑shift optical image stabilization, 100% Focus Pixels, support for super-high-resolution photos (24MP and 48MP)
12MP Ultra Wide: 13 mm, ƒ/2.4 aperture and 120° field of view
12MP 2x Telephoto (enabled by quad-pixel sensor): 52 mm, ƒ/1.6 aperture, sensor-shift optical image stabilization, 100% Focus Pixels
2x optical zoom in, 2x optical zoom out; 4x optical zoom range

Wikipedia describes Hyperfocal distance here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperfocal_distance

giving this:

where

H is the hyperfocal distance;

f is the focal length of the lens;

N is f-number (f/D for aperture diameter D); and

c is the circle of confusion limit.

Also from Google, the circle of confusion for an iPhone is 4μm. (It's 25μm for my full frame Nikon.)

The near limit is H/2
