Why isn't my new MacBook Air pairing with my existing iPhone?
MacBook Air 15″, macOS 13.4
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

I get the message "Pairing Unsuccessful" "MacBook Air" is not supported. This message comes on my iPhone when trying to pair it with my new MacAir. I had paired it successfully with my old MacBook Air and also my iPad.
