Bluetooth pairing issue between iPhone 13 and MacBook running macOS Monterey

You can share things like spreadsheets and documents by storing them in the cloud (e.g., iCloud Drive, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive). In the case of the Notes app, you can synchronize Notes directly through iCloud.

Some apps have both iPhone and Mac versions. These include the Apple Pages, Numbers, and KeyNote apps. If you have a Microsoft 365 subscription, that gives you access to both Mac and iPhone versions of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

Macs and iPhones don't use Bluetooth pairing. They work together via things such as

• Synchronization through iCloud
• Connections to e-mail accounts (which can have associated calendars)
• Continuity features (Continuity features and requirements for Apple devices - Apple Support), some of which make use of Bluetooth, but not in a pairing way

I'm not sure there is any problem to be "resolved."

If so, it still doesn’t work. Although I do have the iPhone connected to the laptop via USB cable & an UPDATE just installed on the IPhone that unfortunately failed to connect anything together.

There is nothing to resolve, pairing two Apple devices together has never been an option unless your tethering.

It is possible for Macs and iPhones to work together. They do so every day. Just not using the particular Bluetooth pairing implementation that you are talking about.

As for apps, the Mac and the iPhone have always been different platforms that run different apps. (Due to similarities in both the hardware and the operating systems, Apple Silicon Macs can run some iPhone apps. But normally you would look for Mac versions of applications .)
