New Mac mini m2 and iPhone 14 Pro. The Mac mini can't "find" the iPhone via Bluetooth, and although the iPhone finds the Mac, it won't connect. On-line articles seem unclear whether a Bluetooth connection is even possible with these two devices. Can anyone please clarify whether it is possible and if so how to do it? Thanks.

No. If you need some interaction over bluetooth between the Mac and the iPhone, see the following support document.

Bluetooth connectivity seems to be required to verify purchases via Apple Pay; however, my mac mini can't find my phone at all. The continuity camera has also never worked for me despite following all the instructions to a T.
Thank you for the clarification. I am brand new to Macs and was just seeing if that would be part of the set up.
