Easily register your Bluetooth device on an iPhone

Apple's iPhone comes with Bluetooth technology, which allows a device located a short distance away to connect wirelessly to your phone. Bluetooth is a convenient way of pairing a wireless headset to use with your iPhone, which keeps your hands free and reduces the clutter from cables and wires. Using a wireless headset also allows you to navigate your iPhone screen and use your applications even if you are on a phone call.
