MacBook Pro running Sonoma OS, iPhone 15 Pro Max running iOS 17.02. Phone will not connect to MacBook via bluetooth, says "MacBook not supported".
I'm fairly certain I've been able to connect my phone to the MacBook in the past. Is this a bug in either iOS 17 or Sonoma?
MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 14.0
Bluetooth pairing a Mac and iPhone has never been supported, except for Hotspot (tethering cellular connection).
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
