Did you know that there are roughly twenty-five Bluetooth profiles? iPhone only supports the Hands-Free Profile (HFP) and Headset Profile (HSP). You’ve heard my bellyache over the lack of support for Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) and Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP). If supported, these two profiles would stream music wirelessly from the iPhone to any supported Bluetooth headsets (i.e. Etymotic ety8) or wireless HiFi speakers (i.e. Com One Bluetooth Speaker System). Well, I’m back again with another Bluetooth bitch session.
Parrot finally sent me their new 7-inch Photo Viewer. Nearly every single Bluetooth-enabled phone on the market supports the Basic Imaging Profile (BIP), File Transfer Profile (FTP), and Object Push Profile (OPP). Guess what? iPhone can’t send images to the Photo Viewer. Why? Because iPhone’s Bluetooth is either extremely dumb, crippled or both.

While I’m on the subject, not that I would ever want to use dial-up networking over EDGE, iPhone doesn’t support the Dial-Up Networking Profile (DUN).
Am I alone or are you pretty p—-d off too?

Dude, gimme more!
Mi too very disappointed about this iphone bluetooth limitation. If I knew before I wouldn’t buy it it’s a scam. what they want you to do is buying their products and make money. people don’t know that unles they buy it then it’s too late. Apple must by law say exactly what this Iphone cannot do especially regarding the bluetooh scam…very disappointed and already advising my friends and family to keep away from the iphone.
Muy buen artículo. Voy a tener en cuenta la opinión vertida aquí, gracias!

I agree – iPhone4 – what crap. I had many bluetooth functions many years ago on all my phones – it was the easiest way to transfer photos to my laptop/pc. No I lost that. Also such a schlept to get my contacts from my old phone onto my iPhone. So far Im nor impressed. The iPhone bluetooth are basically useless – tatally rediculess :( iPhone is a lot of hoo-ha and little practicle. The use of iTunes to transfer stuff to the iPhone is also a schlep. I wont recommend it – for sure.
Hello there, nice article. What if you jailbreak the iphone and somehow install a bluetooth stack? Would this possible somehow?
I was givin this iphone bec my plan was going to run out… I cant stand it i had way more things i cld do on my e71 … Nokia…
I phone 4 sucks big time !
I have challenges in activating my iphone’s bluetooth, help
Thanks for this buddy. I just couldnt understand why i couldn’t connect to my other phone or my laptop – a MacBook for goodness sake. What a pain in the ass. So what’s the solution for sharing files with friends phones? If I set mine up as a hotspot then can something be done? Or maybe if we’re on a wi fi we could use WhatsApp?
Un mueble de madera maciza, sencillo y de calidad, puede ser suficiente para llenar de belleza una estancia. La naturalidad y calidez de la madera, los bellos colores y vetas, las formas rectas tradicionales… aportan sencillez y buen gusto.
tyvm for this … i’m quite a regular user of your blog because you got some really good content here !
Thanks, it’s very interesting, but the movie does not work ..
I have just received iPhone 4 through work and now because of limited blue tooth in have to transfer all of my hundreds of contacts manually p##sed off.
Glad to see people finally realising that Apple are everything they accuse Microsoft of. And more.
They should be facing the same lawsuits for forcing people to only be able to use their software and their approved apps on their gadgets.
However, Android will eventually get streamlined and Apple will lose out big time. Every major player that’s tried to control it’s market has found that the market will just go somewhere else.
Appreciate you for sharing these types of wonderful threads. In addition, the perfect travel and also medical insurance approach can often eradicate those concerns that come with journeying abroad. Some sort of medical emergency can quickly become too expensive and that’s certain to quickly place a financial burden on the family’s finances. Putting in place the excellent travel insurance bundle prior to leaving is well worth the time and effort. Thank you
interesting post i just got in to remote controlled vehicles myself!
