It will not connect via bluetooth (except Neocore speaker). I feel like throwing the 'phone in the rubbish ... I bought it yesterday and have had so many issues that I hate it. Can any one help please?

What are you trying to accomplish? Pairing an iPhone with a computer has never been supported. It’s completely unnecessary. AirDrop, handoff, continuity, etc. don’t require traditional Bluetooth pairing.

Hello,
(See 'Kilted Tim below), I am trying to use the mirroring as described for Sequoia, and use bluetooth earbuds.
Thank you for helping.
Direct bluetooth connection is not required for that, and as said is not possible. You only need to have Bluetooth turned on on both devices.

For the earbuds make sure they have been unpaired for any other device, and place them in pairing mode per their own instructions.

An iPhone won't directly pair or connect over bluetooth with a Mac except for personal hotspot.
For all other features requiring bluetooth a direct connection is not necessary and cannot be done. All you need is for bluetooth to be turned on on both devices.
What exactly are you trying to accomplish by connecting them over bluetooth?
Mirroring does NOT require bluetooth pairing. Merely that the devices be in proximity and signed into the same Apple account.
As for the earbuds, make sure they are in pairing (discoverable) mode.
Hello, I am advised that to achieve 'phone mirroring, (Sequoia) WiFi & Bluetooth should be activated. Also, I have
Soundcore ear buds which should connect to the16E via Bluetooth: they don't appear on the 'phones list of devices. Surely these things would not be the case if the Bluetooth was unnecessary? Neocore Wave bluetooth speakers connected straightaway - thank you for a swift response.
