Following all the instructions, I could not make a pair of iphone 13pro with macbook pro 16, m1, 2021.

The connection occurs, but only for one second and breaks. The connection is not holding!

Bluetooth pairing an iPhone and any Mac is not supported (and never has been).

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

                

If you are attempting to use Handoff/Continuity or AirDrop, that does involve Bluetooth but the devices are NOT paired; Bluetooth just needs to be on and the devices in range of each other. The following may help with Handoff/Continuity issues: Use Continuity to connect your Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple Watch - Apple Support
