As the title states, how many? One, two, more? If so can they be used simultaneuosly? For example pairing it to my aftermarket car stereo for music streaming, while also pairing to the factory bluetooth for phone calls.
iPhone 4, iOS 5.0.1
The bluetooth specification allows up to seven devices to connect, but it's not straightforward, as it is dependent on the type of device and the service profile it provides. For example, you can have a bluetooth keyboard, mouse, and headset connected at the same time, and an A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) device to stream music, but you can't have two devices that performing the same service profile connected at the same time.

You can pair multiple devices, but you can only connect to one at a time.
I have 2 headsets, a ZOMM and my car paired. But, as stated, only one can be used at a time.
rkitekt, did you ever find out? I have a 4S and can't seem to use my heart rate monitor and my headphones at the same time.

Is there a reason that you have answered a 6 month old message that has already been correctly answered, and with a wrong answer in the bargain?
Yes, I have an iPhone 5s currently paired to two Pebble watches and a bluetooth head set. All working simultaneously. I receive notifications on both watches and the headphones work too.
NOW, it allows more than 1. I have not tested how many maximum devices can be paired.
According to Marcus, if it's 7, it's great.
There has never been a limit in my experience. The only limitation is only one device of a given type can be connected (not paired) simultaneously. I currently have 11 paired devices.
I have been able to connect my phone to both a Bluetooth speaker and a Bluetooth smart notifier and it has worked perfectly, Maybe it depends on the IPhone model (I have the IPhone SE)
As a follow-up, I currently have 13 devices paired to my iPhone 7+ on iOS 10.3.2
HOW MANY DEVICES CAN YOU PAIR VIA BLUETOOTH TO IPHONE
