Hi John,
I was able to quickly pair my iPhone 5S with the Touch.
First, you have to go into settings and turn Bluetooth on. Otherwise the
iPhone won't see the Touch.
Just setting Braille Terminal to Bluetooth won't activate it for pairing
unless Bluetooth is on first.
After that, I activated Braille terminal and selected Bluetooth.
I didn't do the pairing correctly at first.
I got a prompt on the iPhone to confirm that a code was being displayed on
the Touch, but somehow I'd gotten out of Terminal mode.
The devices wouldn't connect on my first attempts after that, but I exited
Terminal mode and reentered it, and it quickly paired.
Two important things to remember:
It's better when the iPhone is locked at pairing, then it's recognized after
the phone is unlocked.
And selecting Bluetooth in Terminal Mode doesn't turn Bluetooth on.
That must be done first.
You probably know those things, but thought I'd mention them anyway.
Good luck!
(Incidentally, I won't miss the Apex pairing process. Ugh!)
