Fully functional nanobots capable of carrying out complex tasks within our bodies.
On a widespread scale is not yet a reality.

Isn't it mechanical, and compared to nano stuff, rather large?

And if that were the case various diseases and medical conditions, such as cancer, would be somewhat curable for a start.

You can also see that some addresses have millisecond numbers, while others are zero, possibly indicating which addresses are in use, would be my guess.

And they ALL have a zero distance "Apx Dist:0.00m" indication too.
Do Iphones have more than one bluetooth system, one that is continually talking to the other, so no registration is required for one of them as it's only for internal transmitting or receiving?
hmmmm?
Do you think you are privleged to the actual "reality" of the world?
Where is the vast profit in curing cancer compared to the vast profit to treat it?
iBeacon is a small-scale network device that uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and acts as a transmitter to detect and track smartphones. The Apple iBeacon protocol can be used to give push notifications and location-based services that takes advantage of the way BLE allows wireless devices to connect without human intervention. iBeacon, which specifies how BLE connection requests should be sent, is compatible with iPhone 4S or later, iPad third generation or later, iPad mini and iPod Touch fifth generation or later. iBeacon is also available on Android devices.
Practical applications for iBeacon include pushing marketing promotions to shoppers as they move through a mall, providing notifications about flight delays to travelers who are waiting to board an airplane and displaying details about a work of art as museum visitors enter an exhibition hall.
There are privacy concerns as some organizations may not be upfront in the metrics they collect, and iBeacon was changed from being an opt-in to an opt-out technology, and iBeacon can obtain information on a user’s location.
That is why we need to be aware of all wireless devices that are nearby or that we use on our daily basis. Those can be found within domestic environments, such as smart toys, locks or appliances. We carry others everywhere, such as smart watches, cloth tags, electric cars, bicycles and those present in the workplace.
Bluetooth LE is widely used by IOT devices due to its low consumption and compatibility with many other devices. It is a standard used and supported by the industry.
Very often these devices hold microphones to receive voice commands. As useful as it may seem, it can have deep privacy and safety implications if the user is unaware of this feature, or that it is wirelessly accessible.
It is important to know what we are buying and what connectivity features it offers, so we can avoid bad moments in the future by properly configuring it.
Using Bluetooth LE scanner tools will help you determine which nearby devices use Bluetooth in their communications.
With proximity bluetooth devices (Proximity Beacons) also called iBeacons we can know how far away they are from us, they are often used as key rings to find keys or any other object that is susceptible to get lost, even curious applications such as anti-theft in case your bag moves away from you, the mobile phone application will alert you.
