    It's true, you can't connect through bluetooth in the same way that other phones can. There are limited ways of connecting iPhones to other iPhones but it's nowhere near as flexible as other phones are.

    Its' just simply because Apple don't want info' to be easily transferred with them having control or knowledge of it.

    Transferring files through bluetooth from iphones is really not possible because its not added in its features that's why you're having problems w/ it.
