There is also a list for the RefreshaBraille, and I have seen posts there concerning the RBD and iPhone. For more info, go to:

I have received some information that supports my assertions of this being related to firmware on the display. Btw, I do not recall hearing about this list. Is it similar to this list?

If so, did you try changing your 2.4Ghz router from the typical default of channel 11 to something else and did that resolve the problem? >>> 8. When initially pairing your iOS device, did you receive an error that the display could not be connected because there was an error in loading the driver? >>> 9.

Were you finally able to get the display connected and functioning correctly? >>> 11. If the answer to question 10 was yes, did you still encounter issues with putting the iOS device asleep and unlocking the iOS device to find the Braille display was no longer connected and would not automatically reconnect? >>> 12. Do you have other bluetooth devices such as keyboards, headphones, etc paired as well? >>> 13. If you answered yes to question 12, please provide any information regarding the other devices you have paired. >>> 14. Did you attempt to delete the other devices to determine if these were creating a conflict with the display? >>> 15. Did you at any time attempt to reset your iOS device? >>> 16.
