CoreBluetooth provides an API only for interacting with new Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) devices. This is a new standard that is not compatible with traditional Bluetooth. The iPhone 4S has a dual-mode BT chip that makes LE and normal mode. Therefore, you cannot use CoreBluetooth to communicate with traditional Bluetooth devices such as NXT. However, in the future, for applications such as NXT, it will be useful to use LE Bluetooth mode.
