iPhoneThe system requirements for AirDrop between a Mac and an iPhone are different than they are for between 2 phones or 2 Macs. See the information below from Use AirDrop to send files from your Mac to another nearby Mac or iOS device - Apple Support
In order to transfer files between a Mac and and an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch
- Your iOS device needs to include a lightning connector
- Your iOS device needs iOS 7 or later installed
- Your Mac needs to be a 2012 or later model with OS X Yosemite installed*
- Your Mac and iOS device both need bluetooth and Wi-Fi turned on. You do not have to be connected to a specific Wi-Fi network.
