Weak Bluetooth Signal iOS

Is there a way to generate a very low-energy Bluetooth signal from the iPhone so that another device could only detect the signal if it was very close to the emitting device? Perhaps using the iBeacon technology? What is the iBeacon Bluetooth Profile

You can do this using CoreLocation iBeacons. See this tutorial on how to setup your device as a broadcasting iBeacon. In the devices searching for it you can monitor the RSSI value to determine how close you are.

As you can see in the tutorial that CoreLocation gives you CLBeacon objects of broadcasting devices in the vicity. You can then access their proximity property if you want Apple defined distances: 

typedef {
   CLProximityUnknown,
   CLProximityImmediate,
   CLProximityNear,
   CLProximityFar
} CLProximity;
