Bluetooth Connectivity:

I see nothing connected from looking at your screenshot; but, plenty of items are provided as "Not Connected". So, if it is seen, then that is because you have Bluetooth enabled, and the device is nearby. If it got connected, then it would have had to have been previously paired to your device (being used as a "Trusted Device". So, if you have a speakers that have been perviously paired to these, then they would connect, if powered on, and if the only item amiable. So, unpair the device, if you do not want them to be connected. Unfortunately, there is no "Untrust all of these devices" option for an iPhone. As a result, you'll have to remove them individually.
