Good summary!

iOS6 supports the MAP profile over classical Bluetooth only and NOT Bluetooth Smart / Low Energy. MAP allows access to push notifications in general (incoming calls I¹m not sure about).

Calls are handled with the Hands-Free Profile (HFP). After (!) connecting via SCO, you are able to use AT commands for call handling, call-lists and caller-name display. When you need more detailed phonebook and call-lists, you go for the Phone-Book-Access Profile (PBAP). The current state of Bluetooth profiles in iOS 6: <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3647> HFP offers HD-Voice aka Wide-Band Speech (WBS; with mSBC codec) MAP offers MMS and SMS (no E-Mail access) PBAP offers Mobile Phone-Book (ME) not SIM Earlier firmwares like the last iOS (version 3.1.3) for the original iPhone included IrMC Level 2 for accessing the phone book, as well. Back then and today the functionality of IrMC can be done in PBAP. All these services are not Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) but classic profiles. Links to specifications and other implementations, are on my website: <http://www.traud.de/gsm/MAP.htm> Hope too it helps someone. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
