My iPhone 12 Pro shows my Mac Book Air (2023) in the list of devices in Bluetooth settings but when I select the Mac Book it says "Pairing Unsuccessful, Mac Book Air is not supported" - Why, what can I do?
MacBook Air 15″, macOS 13.5
Bluetooth pairing an iPhone and a Mac is not supported.
If you are attempting to use Handoff/Continuity or AirDrop, that does involve Bluetooth but the devices are NOT paired; Bluetooth just needs to be on and the devices in range of each other. The following may help with Handoff/Continuity issues: Work seamlessly across all your devices - Apple Support
Also see Share files between your Mac and Bluetooth devices - Apple Support
And see the information in: Bluetooth: Why can't I pair my iPhone or … - Apple Community
