iPhone 13 mini and bluetooth.

Bluetooth suddenly will not connect to my iMac. iOS 16.4.1. MacOS Ventura 13.3.1. The iMac is paired and working fine with the bluetooth keyboard, Mouse and a Bose soundbar connected to the TV. How can I fix the connection to and from the phone?

Bluetooth pairing an iPhone and a Mac is not supported. 

 

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, and Apple Watch - Apple Support
