You cannot unpair a device programmatically in iOS.

The cancelPeripheralConnection is only to disconnect your apps connection to the device.

This method is nonblocking, and any CBPeripheral class commands that are still pending to peripheral may or may not complete. Because other apps may still have a connection to the peripheral, canceling a local connection does not guarantee that the underlying physical link is immediately disconnected. From the app’s perspective, however, the peripheral is considered disconnected, and the central manager object calls the centralManager:didDisconnectPeripheral:error: method of its delegate object.
