17. Bluetooth LE
CoreBluetooth
CBCentralManager → discovers and connects to devices
CBPeripheral → the device you connect to
CBPeripheralManager → turns your iOS device into a peripheral
CBCentral → another device that connects to your device

18. CoreBluetooth
CBService → features that the device has
CBCharacteristic → a value you can get or set on the device

19. iBeacons
Just Bluetooth LE devices

20. Apple Notification Center Service
(ANCS)
Read notifications from the iOS device
The Pebble smartwatch uses this to display notifications
