I ran across this blurb in an article entitled Six iPhone 4S features you may have missed:
The iPhone 4S is the first iPhone to support Bluetooth 4.0, a low-energy Bluetooth spec that allows devices to sync via Bluetooth while consuming far less power than traditional Bluetooth devices. This low-power version of Bluetooth doesn't support voice -- headsets and other voice devices still have to transmit over one of the higher-power specs -- but it does support transmission of data from other peripherals like heart rate monitors, watches, and input devices like keyboards or game controllers.The Bluetooth 4.0 built-in to the iPhone 4S apparently has the potential for spawning a plethora of new apps related to monitoring personal health, such as glucometers.
