Torque is on android. iPhone doesn't accept the right protocol for it. I know SCT has a tuner out for iPhone not sure how well it works tho.

I think the only way you can use any Bluetooth OBD is if you have jail broke your iPhone from my understanding because I tried to use a elm327 and it only works on my SO's inspire with torque

I have a plx kiwi bluetooth adapter and the thing is awesome. I use torque for andriod. Allows you to read all sort of stuff. I bought a cheap ebay elm adapter and it didnt work. I know the plx kiwi is android and iphone specific so make sure you get the right one. theyre $100 and worth every penny. Also before you buy a adapter look around and play with apps. I had 2 or 3 different ones and settled with buying the full torque app fro $4. You can use the app and see what it is capable with out having an adapter you just wont be getting any of the readings.
