Why Is My Edge Device Paired to My iPhone Twice?

It is normal for some Edge® cycling computers to have two different Bluetooth® connections when paired with an iOS device and for one of them to be not connected:

During normal operation the Edge stays connected to the phone using an "Edge" or "BLE_Edge" connection (Bluetooth Low Energy connection) and does not stay connected to the phone over the "BT_Edge" connection (Bluetooth Classic connection). The Edge/BLE_Edge connection allows smart notifications from the phone to be displayed on the Edge while the BT_Edge connection will automatically connect only when larger files need to be transferred (i.e. when you have a saved ride that needs to be uploaded). This is because the BT_Edge connection allows for much faster transfer speeds than the Edge/BLE_Edge connection, but it also uses more power.
