Problem with Pairing device(s) after upgrading to Sequoia 15.0

Only for informational purposes

Using an iPhone 15 Pro with IOS 18.0 - Bluetooth On and connected to Wifi

Using an Apple Silicon M2 computer with macOS 15.0 Sequoia - Bluetooth On and also connected to same Wifi as the iPhone

Mirroring the iPhone to this computer does work and appears on my desktop

Go figure

The point being - the iPhone with Bluetooth ON and the Apple M2 Computer also with Bluetooth ON

The two devices are aware of each other via Bluetooth but are not technically Paired one to the other

Again, one does not Pair the two devices together like Pairing a Bluetooth Mouse or Keyboard

Both devices require Bluetooth turned on, on both devices

They also require being connected the same Wifi Network

Suggest reading from the suppled like on Mirroring iPhone to computer

One does not Pair an iPhone to Computer

One uses Continuity or Airdrop

iPhone Mirroring: Use your iPhone from your Mac

The only thing one does with iPhone or iPad or both is back them up to a Mac as well to iCloud if you have it turned on.
