AirDrop unsuccessful from iPhone 17 to MacBook Pro

Airdrop unsuccessful with new iphone 17 to MacBook Pro. Mac airdrops to new iphone 17, old iphone 11 still airdrops to Mac, both phones airdrop to each other and iPad. I've reset networks, confirmed sharing settings, on the same network, both signed in to same apple acct, restarted devices. What am I missing?
