On a brand new RPI-4, I cannot find apple iphones neither using module bluetooth nor bluez package.
I tried to scan for BLE devices and all the command line tools such as bluetoothctl and hciconfig to scan for devices or to reset bluetooth controller but without success in both cases.
I also bought another rpi 4 and got same results with different iOS devices while I can connect and work with many android devices. Anyone is having the same issue?
busctl monitor org.bluez = gives no output
btmon gives this output:

maybe I should use ibeacon approach? https://learn.adafruit.com/pibeacon-ibeacon-with-a-raspberry-pi/what-is-ibeacon
