Following the procedure at Sync contacts and calendars onto your Mac and iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support I have successfully sync'ed my iMac (Ventura) and iPhone 6s.
But the instructions there do not seem compatible with a MacBook Air.
Am I wrong? Or is there another way to sync a MacBook Air?
Thank you.
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.5
Make sure both devices are signed into the same iCloud ID and you have Contacts selected in the Apps Using iCloud settings pane:
If you already have Contacts turned on toggle it off and on a couple of time and check.
If that doesn't help give this a try: boot into Safe Mode according to How to use safe mode on your Mac and test to see if the problem persists. Reboot normally and test again.
NOTE 1: Safe Mode boot can take up to 3 - 5 minutes as it's doing the following;
• Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed
• Loads only required kernel extensions (prevents 3rd party kernel/extensions from loading)
• Prevents Startup Items and Login Items from opening automatically
• Disables user-installed fonts
• Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files
NOTE 2: if you have a wireless keyboard with rechargeable batteries connect it with its charging cable before booting into Safe Mode. This makes it act as a wired keyboard as will insure a successful boot into Safe Mode.

if both use the same appleID and is set to sync contacts to there it should be automatic
