I was trying to pair my iPhone with my Mac because I thought that was needed to use the Hotspot when the internet was down but, after speaking to a friend, it seems that's not necessary.


How to set up a Personal Hotspot on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


There's some talk about connecting to a Personal Hot-Spot with Bluetooth, but that part of it is confusing. If you are trying to give your Mac access to the Internet through your iPhone's cellular data connection, I would suggest connecting the Mac to the iPhone acting as a hotspot using Wi-Fi or using a USB cable.
