Q: Iphone 6 plus not pairing via bluetooth with macbook pro

I am just playing around with my macbook pro and my iPhone 6 plus and was trying to pair them together via bluetooth but it will say connected for a second then say not connected and my phone says it isn't supported. Why is that?

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 8, using new Yosemite OS

It was Steve Jobs who decreed that Bluetooth was not an appropriate way for computers and iPhones to connect. He would be REALLY p i s s e d if he knew that someone later went against his decision.

You can only pair your mac with your iphone when you turn on "personal hotspot", after you turn it on, you can connect to your phone and use its internet network. Hope this helps.
