In todays world, Bluetooth is a key feature on 98% of devices. With the iPhone it's no exception. In fact, I'm happy it was included and can be used because not only can I wirelessly connect my iPhone to Speakers, the car, and so many other devices. I'm left with a device that is multi-role and can be used to well lets face it make things eaiser for me. Using bluetooth on your iPhone is easy, simple setup and you get two notifications. Connected - Or Failed to Connect. Now, connecting is simple and can be done by going to Settings > Bluetooth > Turning it on and off. When you turn it on, any devices that can be paired with your iPhone device will show in a list. As well, if you've paired any devices previously they'll appear there as well - as it has a history feature which allows you to be in locations where you've connected before and instantly connect without trying to connect and have the two devices repaired. Which I love, but back to connecting. Now you've turned on Bluetooth and see the devices listed and want to connect.

Choose the device you want to pair your iPhone with and once it's connected you'll rec. a connect and be able to stream music, movies, etc to that device. Depending on what that device is. However, if you get a fail to connect don't worry - simply means your out of the devices range - and need to get closer to it. Which simply moving closer to the device and re trying to pair your iPhone with it will work with no issues. Also if your unable to see the device or pair, always make sure the device is on and has power or is charged. For many people, Bluetooth on the iPhone is pretty straigh forward, other's its a rabbit hole of - well how do I use it, and make it work for me. A lot of people it's all about turning it on, and showing you where you can. Anytime you do an update to your iOS the update turns on Bluetooth. Which i've always wondered why but that's neither here nor there. There's two ways of actually turning on Bluetooth, Going into Settings > Bluetooth and turning it on there. Or using the iPhone shortcut screen menu by swiping your Finger up from the bottom of the screen and clicking on the Bluetooth icon.

There are many devices you can pair with your iPhone, but note: If you paired your iPhone with a device, you will not be able to have someone pair that device at the same time your connected. This is a common problem that many people have asked about, "Can I be connected to a device someone else is connected to" The answer is no. Even though Bluetooth is advanced for what it does, it doesn't allow multiple connections for devices. There are some devices that do, but I haven't seen those yet or heard of them. I know for instance Bluetooth speakers you see commercials for people connecting, and then getting disconnected and reconnecting and the two people are able to fight between one another but it's for TV and is over hyped. If your connected to the device, your connected and that's it til your unpaired, iPhone drains of battery life or simply you turn the device off and then back on. The majority of iPhone users will use bluetooth for wireless headsets or speaker systems.

Now even though there are tons of Pro's versus con's for Bluetooth and your iPhone. There is a battery drain issue with it. The iPhone is remember in essence an attenna sending and rec. information NON STOP. You have the Cell Signal, Wireless Signal or WiFi, And Now Bluetooth Turned on. The iPhone device is putting in triple the workload and will cause your battery to drain more. So if your looking to simply use your Bluetooth to pair a device for a short period of time, Once your done using it. Simply again using either of the methods above for turning on Bluetooth shut bluetooth off to conserve battery life on your iPhone. If you do leave it on or connected - paired to the device you'll notice a battery drain issue that will cause your iPhone to die a lot faster than your use to which can be a problem if your out and about or at someones house and no charger. Then again, there are a lot of people who bring there chargers with them, etc. where ever they go.
