Mac OS High Sierra on MacBook Pro:
Connected to an iPhone 8 with iOS 16.7.5
Checked the usual suspects both on Mac ad iPhone:
Looks good, BUT 'Send icon' on Mac remains dimmed and IPhone does not see anything:
Any idea is welcome.
Noud.
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.12
You're welcome.
Yes, both requirements must be met for Mac to iPhone AirDrop.
The Mac must be a 2012 model or newer.
And the Mac must be running Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite or later (newer).
That info used to could be found in Apple docs, but I can't seem to find it there.
I did find a couple references online. Here are two examples:
How to tell if your Mac supports AirDrop - idownloadblog.com
The second has info for Mac-to-Mac AirDrop as well as Mac-to-iPhone requirements.
AirDrop functionality requires a Mac released in 2012 or later, and running OS X Yosemite or later.
Thanks Johnson.
To me this is the first time that the release date and Yosemite are mentioned.
I see a lot of hints regarding Sierra, but that's not the whole story.
If I understand you well both requirements, 2012 AND Yosemite, have to be met?
Thanks a lot again.
The second source is very accurate and helpful indeed.
You're welcome. 👍🏽
