Q: Bluetooth pairing

Frustration is all over me! I am unable to get a pairing between my MacBook (10.8.2) and my iPhone (6.1.3). Should I expect problem or what? And if so, why? Both devices have Bluetooth so why does Apple not make them compatible?

iPhone 4, iOS 6.1.3

You can quit trying to pair your phone & Mac by Bluetooth, as they won't pair unless you're trying to Tether. File transfer, by Bluetooth, has NEVER been supported on any iPhone.

@wjosten; do you know why Apple have made this decision? I mean, nowadays you take a lot of photos with the iPhone and Bluetooth would be a very easy way to transfer them to the computer. II can even pair it with my car so why not my own Mac-computer which I anticipate is much mote sophisticated! Or at least, I assume Apple would like me to believe that.

There is no one from Apple here, thus no one here can answer your question. All I can tell you is that it has been this way since the first iPhone was released in 2007. Tell Apple you don't like this here:
