The Bluetooth indicator in the Macbook's menu bar is indicating a connection, but does not list a connected device in the Bluetooth preferences. system_profiler SPBluetoothDataType shows it is my iPhone running services:
PAN Network Access Profile, AVRCP Device, Handsfree Gateway, Audio Source, MAP MAS-iOS, Wireless iAP, AVRCP Device, Phonebook
There is no indication of any bluetooth connection in the iphone's bluetooth menu, and i never asked it to do any of this.
What's going on? Is it possible this is malware?

it is normal.your devices won't actually use this e.g. for bt file exchange but when using services/features like continuity/handoff etc you will see they are somehow connected (transferring data).if both of your devices have the same iCloud account, then this is it.no need to worry.
