Bluetooth device pairing

Why doesn't my new iPhone14 not pair with my MacBook Air ? The MacBook Air doesn't recognise my new iPhone 14.

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 12

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
