Iphone 4s & 5 problem with bluetooth

Hi,


I bought yesterday two Iphone 4s and 5 ios 6.0.1. The bluetooth is enabled but does not find any device ( Iphone, MacBook Pro) . We are already the weekend and I can not get help from support.


I thought exchanging against other Monday, but first I would like to know if there is something I need to activate for the bluetooth working properly


Thank you for your help.

thank you for your reply,

I see that there is definitely a problem with these Handys. Because according to the links Bluetooth is supported, but it doesn't work.


No working iPhone 4s with iPhone 5.

Okay, I see your intelligence is lacking.


Bluetooth file transfer is not supported which is why the 4S cannot see the 5 and vice versa.

This is also why the iPhones will not connect to the computer.


Only Bluetooth tethering is supported between a computer and an iDevice.


Take the device to an Apple store if you like, they will tell you the same thing.
