Hi C2,

This is via Community User, and credit to, Foxfifth:

An iPhone will not pair via Bluetooth to a computer (Mac or Windows) or an iPad except for personal hotspot and then only if your cellular plan supports it. See the following for more information: Bluetooth: Why can't I pair my iPhone or … - Apple Community


To see the whole thread, here is the link. It provides some instances where bluetooth is used (but with specific operations). https://origin-discussions-us.apple.com/thread/253554849?page=2
