Macbook Pro giving "Macbook Pro not supported" in bluetooth pairing to iPhone 13 mini
In every version of IOS and Mac OS for the past seven years, I've paired my iPhones (iPhone 6 and XR) with my 2013 Macbook Pro and now my 2020 Macbook Pro and use the laptop to make and recieve phone calls as well as text messaging and whatever other features that functionality brings. My wife's 2015 Macbook Pro and iPhones 6 and XR had identical functionality.
I bought an iPhone 13 mini last week. It paired with my 2013 Macbook Pro, but gives the error code "Not Supported" with my 2020 Macbook Pro, even though it issues a pairing code... and briefly shows "Paired" but won't pair and gives the 'Pairing Unsuccessful "Macbook Pro is not supported." Nor can I make or receive calls with the laptop now.
I've tried rebooting both devices and done everything I can think of to sort this out, but I'm coming up blank.
There's an earlier post on this issue that the "solve" said "pairing isn't possible," which is nonsense as I've done it for years just as any other bluetooth device, unless something changed in Mac OS 12.3.1 or IOS 15.4.1 that would have lost that functionality?
Ideas anyone?
