Q: airdrop mac not working with iPhone 6

Hello everybody !

Am I the only one having problems with Airdrop ? My MacBook air doesn't detect my iPhone6... I checked online and I didn't find any answer. My wifi and bluetooth are turned on in both devices. I am running with IOS 9.3.4 for the iphone and OS X El Capitain 10.11.5 for the Mac. Can someone help me ?

Thank you so much !!

MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.1.x)

Is your MaBook Air a 2012 or later model? That is a system requirement for AirDrop between a Mac and iPhone. See the information below from Use AirDrop to send content from your Mac - Apple Support
To send items to an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or to receive items from those devices, you need a 2012 or later Mac model with OS X Yosemite or later, excluding the Mac Pro (Mid 2012).
