That message is correct, an iPhone can't be connected to the Mac or PC, using Bluetooth, if you want to transfer data.

You'll have to use AirDrop, to do that.

What kind of data are you trying to transfer between your iPhone and MacBook Pro?

Which macOS and iOS version is installed?

You can't connect an iPhone to a Mac, using Buetooth, for a personal hotspot? It seems to be one of the options available. I was unsuccessful using my iPhone 12 as a hotspot for my 2021 Macbook pro.
