The only option available for Bluetooth accessories on an iPhone 4 is an MFI certified accessory or a generic accessory such as a headset or keyboard. The iPhone 4 does not have a Bluetooth 4/Bluetooth Low Energy chipset and so is not compatible with BLE devices. iPhone 4S and later support BLE.

Bluetooth Low Energy accessory devices are not covered by the MFI program.
