That's correct. The Bluetooth Radio in iPhone is VERY LOW energy and it is constantly scanning for devices which you would have to put in pairing mode in order to pair them with your phone. While you see the circle spin, it is normal and uses virtually no power. It is nothing to be concerned about and is expected behavior.
