Right now, the only way I can test my app on a device is to physically plug it into my laptop, and build/deploy from xcode directly to it. Is there any way I can do this remotely without physically plugging the device into my mac?

To second what Moshe and Clay said, you can use a number of services that provide over-the-air distribution.
TestFlight is a fully-featured service that provides team and beta campaign management in addition to over-the-air distribution. It is a hosted service so there is no setup.
Hockey is similar in its execution and does a great job as well. I haven’t used Hockey, so I can’t speak to it’s full feature set.
Full disclosure, I am one of the mobile devs on TestFlight.
