Can't pair two Apple devices via bluetooth unless you're tethering. If you're having hotspot issue then click here If Personal Hotspot is not working on your iPhone or iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular) - Apple Support

How are you connect? Hardwired? or Bluetooth?
Reset the Bluetooth Module:
Resetting the Bluetooth Module in that method is simply just no longer an option. It is just not part of macOS Monterey. For reference, I wrote this user tip back in April 2021, prior to the release of macOS Monterey: Use "Reset the Bluetooth module" to Fix Constant Bluetooth Disconnections - User Tip. So, try the following...
sudo pkill bluetoothd
So, Recommend it Comes Back:
Do your Part: Inform Apple of your feedback of this issue. Include how you’ve troubleshot this, and your results. Apple wont get back to you directly, but the more feedback they receive from its users, the more likely they will know what suits their customer prefer, and what to include in macOS versions to come.
I don't think that you have to connect a cable between an iPhone and a Mac to pair them. (That sounds more like the way that you pair a Magic Keyboard to a Mac.)
