Why is my Mac mini not connecting to my iPhones via Bluetooth?

Mac mini intel 6 core bluetooth 5 not recognising any iPhones bluetooth 5's

why is my Mac mini 2018 not connecting to iPhone 13 or iPhone se 2nd gen with bluetooth.

They are all 5th version bluetooth, on the iPhone's both of them say 'not compatible ' when pairing.

where as they both connect to a older iMac 2015 perfectly . They are on the same network and same Apple ID .

When I try and connect Bluetooth it come up with a pairing number to connect and connects then disconnects

and hands off works with my older IMac and iPhone and that works fine. But my newer Mac mini it doesn’t. And it won’t connect with Bluetooth

I’ve just tried it with my old Mac and yes your right it doesn’t need Bluetooth on thank you.

but I still can’t get it to work on my Mac mini hands off or Bluetooth.

because they weren’t pairing I thought that’s why hands off wasn’t working.

anyone know why my iPhone isn’t compatible with my Mac mini when they are the same version Bluetooth.

And why hands off isn’t work either when I’ve done the same things setting up as my older Mac
