Unknown (IPhone) Bluetooth devices connects randomly to my macbook pro

For some reason time to time my IPhone connects as unknown device to my Macbook Pro running Big Sur.

I don't really know why or what is triggering it. I have turned off handoff on my Iphone, Macbook & iWatch. Removed the battery widget. My Iphone is not linked via bluetooth to my Mac and I still can't figure out how and why it's connecting to my mac. I also own an Airpods Pro.

The device (Iphone) shows up like this. (Based on the signal strength I determined that it's my IPhone 11)

Devices (Paired, Configured, etc.):

49-4a-b3-4a-32-1d:

Address: 49-4A-B3-4A-32-1D

Random Address: Yes

Resolvable Address: Yes

Services:

Paired: No

Configured: No

Connected: Yes

Bluetooth Core Spec: 1.0b

Class of Device: Low Energy

AFH: On

AFH Map: befff7fe1d

RSSI: -61

Role: Peripheral

Connection Mode: Active Mode

Interval: 0 ms

Any Idea how can I solve this problem?

If anybody have the same issue.

1.) Try to figure out what devices is trying to connect to your mac. In my case it was my IPhone.

2.) Reset or unpair your mac from the device (I did a network reset on my Iphone and it worked)

The command line that I used when the unknown device was connected:

system_profiler SPBluetoothDataType
